This book is photographic documentaion of the streets of New York City in 2020.As an Oakland, California native, I always dreamed to moving to the big city of New York. When I was finally able to make that dream a reality, I quickly learned NYC is much more than Broadway shows, Times Square and skylines. From afar New York City is as beautiful as ever but as the virus and political ineptitude began to tear apart New York I took the time to document what is happening beyond the post cards and mainstream news media. These are all ground level, no frills, iphone photos of the decay that occured in New York City in 2020.
