COVID-19 Pandemic
I began taking this series of photos on March 27, 2020. Governor Scott's Stay Home Stay Safe order had been recently released and I was walking outside for exercise. I was struck at the absence of life in downtown Burlington, VT. The empty spaces where normally people would congregate, shop, recreate, even park. I knew from day one that this would be a long running series of photos.
Photographs in this gallery are sorted so that the most recent ones are on top. If this is your first time here, you may want to go to the last page and scroll all the way to the bottom so you can start at the beginning.

Feeling Blue
I'm assuming "FTP" at the top of the building is not File Transfer Protocol.
Congratulations, Graduates.
Tough time for big life changes.
A stark contrast to stencils two months ago.
So. Many. Signs.
A fence isn't enough? Is this safety, or to hide the atrocity known as "The Pit"? I think I'd rather see the site than this.

You know, except for the sidewalk weave, masks, and onslaught of new signage.
