October 23 / Brockton â What weâre living through now with the pandemic is going down in history, so it was extremely important to be out there covering it. I was actually on assignment to shoot a high school lacrosse game when I saw these two empty COVID-19 testing tents. Right before dusk, a few cars drove up and I jumped out of my car and shot a few frames. The color balance from the lighting mixed with sunset gave it that weird glow. It looked like science fiction; it looked otherworldly. âBarry Chin
