In Boston, a typical spring brings the city to life. Tourists clog the Freedom Trail. Students emerge from their dorms to sun themselves along the Charles River. The well-heeled residents of the Back Bay fill outdoor cafe tables along Newbury Street. But when the pandemic struck, Boston changed overnight.

The ubiquitous duck boats disappeared. Thousands of students never returned from spring break. And instead, empty streets, shuttered businesses and vacant subway cars became the new landscape.

While most people sheltered in place during the lockdown, I ventured out every day. With a small Leica monochrom camera over my shoulder, I rode a folding bike throughout the abandoned city seeking to document the changed landscape.

Intentionally stark, these black and white images also reflect what it felt like to be living Somewhere Along the Curve.

To date, this project has been exhibited at Panopticon Gallery in Boston, and featured in the Boston Globe, the Social Documentary Network, WGBH and BU Today.

Work from this project was exhibited at Panopticon Gallery in Kenmore Square from November, 2020 through January, 2021.
