By Katherine Taylor | February 15, 2021
Nick Resnick 23 years old Occupation: Computer Engineer Most challenging part of Covid19/this time in history? Watching innocent lives be torn and thrashed and pulled to their limits with no way to help them. Watching friends and family scared to leave their room for nobody knowing what could happen if they did. It’s a scary time in our lives, that nobody could of ever predicted to happen, but these are the times we show our strength and work together to protect each other. What has given you strength/ are there any unexpected positives from Covid19? Postives: Teaching me patience and understanding of a bigger picture than just myself and my health being at stake. It’s really hard to say much has given me strength through these times, the only way is taking it day by day. Who do you wear a mask for?

Who do you wear a mask for? (Ed. Note: Each Monday, The Pandemic Lens publishes an image from Katherine Taylor’s “Masks of Boston” project. To date, Kathryn has photographed nearly...
