Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY Every COVID-19 death has a name... and every COVID-19 death, reported, unreported or covered-up, is real. Digitially enhanced collage created from the hundreds of posters, flyers, banners, and images attached to Green-Wood Cemetery's fence just to the right of the main entrance at 500 25th Street to reinforce the heart-breaking reality of COVID-19 here in NYC and everywhere in the world. www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

Barclays Center, Brooklyn, NY In light of the unlawful murder of George Floyd at the hands of four MPD cops and the nationwide riots, looting and acts of arson, I chose to focus on the positive with hope this time will be different and African-Americans will have their lives valued and will no longer have to live under "police-state" conditions in America. Therefore, I photographed Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s inspirational saying that is eternally relevant as well as "Black Lives Matter" posters and graffiti honoring George Floyd, the latter two digitally edited, found also in Brooklyn, NY. I did not include the looted and borded up stores around Barclays Center that include but are not limited to Shake Shack, Target, Modell's, Old Navy. I also didn't include photos of rage influenced graffiti since hopefully now these are days of healing and the beginning of a grass roots movement to create a more perfect union where human rights are respected and peoples of all diversity interact and live in peace. The LED display is located on the Barclays Center, home of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets.
