On March 22, NY Governor announced "New York State on pause" executive order, and since then all New Yorkers have begun to live under a "new normal" lifestyle with a mask, social distancing, and constant disinfecting. I’ve been living in the city that never sleeps for many years, so to see it go into sleep mode for the first time is a surreal experience. Therefore, I decided to take my camera and drive around the city and post one photo per day on my IG to document the changes in the NY lifestyle under the COVID-19 impact through my lens.

Wow. This time of year, there's usually skaters everywhere, and students, and musicians. Passers-by could even get a little of that "School's almost done!" vibe.

I have so many questions about this one - what is the significance of the large hats on the crowd of people? Are the kids changing direction to run from them? I need some context please.

New Yorker here, it's just as eerie as the pictures make it seem. Most nights before this, I would fall asleep to the sounds of drunk college kids and cars outside my window, and I didn't even think twice about it. Now it's somewhat scary to hear silence for some of the first times in my life.

Agree. For me is the sound of sirens. It used to be part of the ambience sound of the city, but now it sounds scary and sad.

I did something like this 4 weeks ago, though not with a professional camera, and half my pics are of crowded public areas without social distancing in Manhattan

i know. But I found out it really depends on the area. During a sunny day, the park areas are crazy as if nothing has happened. However, in midtown or shopping area where all the shops are closed really feels like ghost town.
