In Time of Plague is a comprehensive portrait of Williamsburg, Brooklyn made at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. I made 16 walks through the neighborhood, reaching virtually every corner of this sprawling part of the city.

I have witnessed this city’s ups and downs for almost five decades – the bankrupt 70s, AIDs in the 80s, 9/11, Hurricane Sandy, and the city’s recent economic ascendance. This Spring, with the trees bursting into bloom, the city that never sleeps came to an almost unthinkable halt. These photographs document that moment when time seemed to freeze, when the crowds dispersed, when the stage was left vacant, and, for once, the show did not go on.

In Time of Plague, the book, will soon be available for presale on Kickstarter.

I could have taken my time, and shopped the book concept around with publishers. But there are times when the urgency of the moment requires more speed. This, I believe, is one of those moments. I hope you will support the project on Kickstarter.
