The coronavirus or COVID-19 seemed to take America like a thief in the night. Shutting down stores, some for good, and forever changing the way we conduct, or day-to-day lives seems to be just the tip of the iceberg of this ongoing pandemic. Many stores had to create new regulations and guidelines to ensure that all of their patrons are safe and socially distant from one another. Once busy streets and sidewalks now echo with faint memories of passersby. Life is never going to be the same, it seems as though we are all frozen in time. All the while beginning an entire new chapter. My photos bear example to the “new norms” dawned on us by covid, and how life is slowly but surely changing.
