Pauses

Friday Governor Andrew Cuomo addressed the State of New York. He declared that New York was on pause: the word was its acronym for policies assure uniform safety [for] everyone. 

Photojournalist Newsha Tavakolian posted her experience of the “hard pause” Coronavirus has imposed on Iran. She describes how the pandemic forced her to photograph: “I feel as if I’ve stepped into some dystopian future.” Her photoessay humanizes our global crisis. Tragedies “smack” and defiant hope sparkles in it. As she discovered herself anew Newsha offers a truth from which everyone can profit: “slowing down reignites your senses.”
