March 18. 2020: I finally took a strol l around the neighborhood. I managed to squeeze in sometime before an on line work-related meeting. Looking out the window wasn't enough. In fact, it was torturing me. On a beautiful, sunny, near-perfect-weather day, with history in the making all around, I was jonesing to shoot. To not photograph felt like I was sitting inside Edgar Allen Poe's 'The Tell-Tale Heart'. I didn't kill anyone. Nor have I been contemplating it. But, to not go out and photograph has the same taunting and haunting effect as the heartbeat in Poe's 1843 tale. Photographed in Woodside & Jackson Heights, Queens
