Wednesday Morning

A photo essay.

It’s Wednesday morning. A married couple works remotely from their apartment in the Bronx.

Their new daily ritual involves coffee and – when possible – sunbathing by their large living room window, observing the outside world through the glass.

They take turns making the coffee and peering out of the window.

They take turns working on their computer.

Always in the same place.

The ritual brings tranquility amid the slow passage of time.

Their minimal conversation revolves around how poorly timed the construction on their building seems to be. How it has taken away their access to the outdoor balcony.

“If only we had access to the balcony,” they say, again and again.
