Stuck at home means lots of window shots. After discussions about the interesting compression effects of telephotos with the #dumbo15 collective, I’ve dug out a 55-200 zoom I seldom use and have been shooting with it a lot. Below, some example of that compression effect.



The very air seems heavy and quarantined, as if it would like to get out for a fresh breath…

Seen coming off the bridge into NY. A suitably gray scene for the besieged city we were returning to.

We returned to NY about 2 weeks ago, in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis. There were 13 people on our flight and the airports at both ends were empty and destitute.
