Finally, a stroll

Description

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

As I was waiting for my Lyft to pick me up from the local Stop & Shop, I spotted a flock of pigeons across the market. They seemed to be pecking the ground as if they were being fed, a visual you don't often see these days as we are all instructed to limit our outings and follow through with the mandated quarantine. I saw this man with a bag of Wonderbread, breaking it into pieces and making sure each bird recieved a ration. I approached him, "You don't see this anymore," as I pointed to the birds and the bread on the ground. He smiled and then he replied, "The people who used to come and feed 'em aren't able to come anymore. But, we gottri take turns and help out these little guys." He informed me that he was on his break from working at the Stop & Shop. He and some other colleagues come out with food items to make sure that the birds and the squirrels who once depended on the generosity of others- have something in their stomachs by the end of each day.

Sleeping dog

During the time staying at home and in between disinfecting every single surface that might’ve been touched, or fashioning masks out of shirts and scarves so as to not take, God forbid, and accidental whiff of outside air, I’ve been working on making more art. Attached is a mini 4x6 canvas painting of my dog (who is very happy that I’m at home more). He takes a lot of naps, so here’s one of his sleeping positions.

Out the Window, I've seen.

Description

My Intro to Creative Writing class wrote a collaborative poem, "Out the Window, I've Seen." It's an Urban Studies Course, and in normal times we compose pieces based on urban observations (field trips, etc.). Since we're staying at home, we wrote a poem about things that we've seen from our windows, each person contributing a line. The names of my students are on the attached document.

Victor Ty - Fall 2009 - NYU Langone Health Oncology Clinical Research Manager
I am one of a group called Maker Nurses comprised of identified nurses, clinicians, therapists, MDs and child life specialist who innovate medical and non-medical interventions to better the experiences of patients. As you may know I design and build Lego Medial Models of medical equipment such as MRIs, CTs, linear accelerators etc. I have also been involved with the Maker community including the 3D printing community.
I have been monitoring the pandemic closely since it broke out in the news in Dec 2019. When it finally hit home in NYC, including the shortage of PPE, I looked at my supplies and inventory of materials from which I could make the most use. I decided to make face shields, since I had clear acetate sheets from my days at LAGCC attending Dr. Grozav’s microbiology class. I used this for my reports back then. I also had some inventory of elastic from fashion career days and more importantly I have a 3D printer.
I started looking into a face shield design that was already out there and I got in contact a couple from upstate NY that had a design ready.The first prototype was perfect and took 6hrs to make. So, I made a plan to print 3-4 face shields daily. I started printing on 3/21 and by 3/23, with my wife, our older son and I started to have symptoms. In a couple if days we all came down with COVID 19. I continued printing and I'm still printing daily for a little more than 5 weeks now. I reached out to my 3D colleagues here and Boston and they linked me to a 3D printing outfit at the Brooklyn Navy Yard called Ultimaker. In a few days they were also printing for NYU and the rest of the hospitals in NYC.
I had only requested 50 pieces from them and at that time, I had about 30 completed myself. I have since printed about 120 from my printer. Since my hospital was getting a fair amount from Ultimaker, I offered the ones I made to my fellow nursing family of co-workers: from my colleagues from LAGCC to the units at Maimonides, and to the pulmonary service at NYU as they were in front and center that really needed extra PPE’s. I also provided some of the oncologists that were being deployed to the COVID-19 floors.
My face shields went as far away as San Diego, CA; Northern NJ and Upstate NY. Almost all the hospitals, both HHC and private hospitals, where places where my friends and family worked. Although we are now on the downslope, we continue to print here at home, as we anticipate more need in the near future.
