New Yorkers are New York - without it is just an impressive skyline and empty streetscapes - thank your for documenting the city's indestructible humanity
My soul was touched by your your video. As I watched it my face became wet with tears. You have captured so very much with your brilliance with your camera and the beauty of your soul. I will gift your video to others and watch it many times myself. Thank you. It is truly a privilege knowing you. I look forward to more hours with you.
My home for 18 years, I am now in SF. Midway through these photos, I burst into tears. This, people, is real photography, real commitment, real artistic empathy. Thank you, Peter.
Thank you Peter... I am certain these images and the stories that they tell will be seen in the years to come as some of the most important record of how humanity was affected by the pandemic
A meditation on the greatest people in the greatest city in our nation. Thank you, New Yorkers, for standing strong, for reaching out and caring for each other. We all learn from you!
Oh my, Peter. These expressions of love, captured by your camera, can now capture our souls. I’m in tears. Wonderful, joyful tears. Thank you and bless you, my friend.
It was hard to see the last minute thru the tears. I am a CITY girl living up in NH now but my heart is and always will be in NY with my sons and my brother. My broken heart. Empty Grand Central Station. Who could ever have imagined. But what I loved most about your extraordinary photographs is that you also captured JOY along with the trauma. I could see the smiles in the eyes above the masks. It reminds me to smile above mine, as much as I possible. Thank you so much for sharing this. You are a treasure. Thank you thank you thank you.
As I watched, I could not help thinking how each of these photographs is so vivid and dramatic that it could easily serve as a book cover. Also, how things are always better--or worse--in New York than almost anywhere else. What a price these people are paying.
Bonjours vos photos sont tellement belle tellement pleine d'humanité que du coup je suis allé au bout des 7 minutes et je ne parle pas du développement des photos qui est tous juste fabuleux. Excusais mois pour le français je ne maitrise pas du tout l'anglais Bon courage aux New-Yorkais
Beautiful document on these times we all hope will be soon behind us! Fabulous images. I also very much like the choice of music and the low-key high-contrast rendering. Both fit perfectly the story. Nice to see you included two self-portraits Peter! 👏👏👏🍷
Peter - I am normally in New York every three weeks, but I have been six hours north in rural Vermont since this bizarre episode began. I found it hard to imagine what was going on. No longer.. Your photos make it so real. The black and while sets the somber tone. The imaging is terrific, the portraits so haunting. There is a history book in utero here. Keep up the great work.. T
Of course there are tears in my eyes. I don't know what the music is, but it is beautiful. These images remind me of how good we can be when push comes to shove.
thank you for sharing this beautiful document, peter. your ability to capture the powerful true essence of humanity never ceases to effect me deeply. please stay safe and well!
Thank you for documenting how racialized folks are at the frontlines of this moment. A powerful homage to a city with an unbreakable spirit. Just breathtaking.
I just found your email and the link to your video. Somehow your email had gone to my spam folder which I rarely look at. I knew that Ken had heard from you but I had not taken time to read what you had written him. We have been much too overloaded with our research on Covid-19 and trying to stay sane. I'm glad that I found your email!!!
