The Covid Pandemic was officially declared over on May 11, 2023 by the federal COVID-19 PHE – yet so many around the world still suffer from it. It has disproportionately impacted many minority communities and called forth an onslaught of racially motivated violence, specifically towards Asian Americans. Despite us having the luxury to return back to our normal lives, many communities still face the issue of Covid. Coming out of the pandemic, the underserved are working multiple jobs while having enormous post pandemic debt. Walking through San Francisco, the impact is evident. Going from district to district you see the differing effects that covid has left. In ChinaTown, where this photo was taken, many people can be seen working tirelessly while wearing a mask. Even though Covid has left the minds of many of us, it is crucial to remember that we are just the fortunate few.

Photography is an adventure; it takes me to places that I would never go, and try things I would never do. Photography is a tool that allows me to appreciate and analyze life -- the atmosphere around me.
