THROWBACK - KENDRICK BRINSON PHOTOGRAPHS L.A.

Some beautiful photos Kendrick captured for The New York Times when LA reopened during COVID. Sharing them today as a reminder of how far we've come and how grateful we should be. Wandering freely across the city, she photographed a wide range of scenes, from masked people waiting in socially distanced lines to hotel guests enjoying newly relaxed restrictions, alongside workers who still wore masks. Together, the photographs capture a city caught between a desire to return to normal life and the lingering realities of the pandemic.
