18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Did you know that Times Square could stand still?

I snapped this photo in the middle of the busiest street in Times Square at 10am. Not threatened by a single car or a hurried New Yorker late for work or even an exploring tourist. I stood in the middle of the busiest street in Times Square, in the middle of a pandemic. The city that never sleeps, forced to take a nap and heal.
