I was supposed to fly home to New York City from London a day after the US announced that the UK would be included in its temporary travel ban. I was desperate to get home and hunker down with my New York family, but my partner lives in London and we decided we were better off staying put. A few days later the UK officially went on lockdown. Since then I've been taking pictures as much as I always do, only I'm walking everywhere instead of taking public transport. As a photographer who prefers working in crowded urban spaces, I've always practiced my own brand of social distancing, sizing up the distance, angle, and trajectory strangers everywhere. My routine of taking pictures has helped me maintain a sense of normalcy, but the pictures themselves force me to confront a new world of abnormality.
