New York City as you’ve never seen it: Emptied by coronavirus, photographed from the back of a motorcycle in this photo essay by AP’s mayersINsg and EFM1959
In its best days, in its highest moments, New York City is dizzying.
For now, it is become a place of familiar landmarks and well-trodden streets thrown off kilter by an invisible adversary that is taking some of its people away and terrifying the rest. Photojournalist Wong Maye-E and Global Enterprise photo editor Enric Martí traveled the empty streets of New York City on a motorcycle to document life during the time of coronavirus.
Wong, perched on the back, worked fast with an eye honed in places from Myanmar to North Korea, choosing her moments to illustrate the life of a city on pause. Sometimes they were so in sync, so wrapped in this strange world, that he would pause and point, and she would have already seen the shot and raised her lens.
For those who do not call New York home, the city flashes in and out of consciousness, served up in establishing shots and TV credits. “Taxi.” “The Sopranos.” “Law & Order.” “Sex and the City.” Because of this, most of us — the non-New Yorkers among us — tend to consume the city in quick and fragmented images.
