E53 - On Pause: Three Months that Changed New York

In the book On Pause: Three Months That Changed New York, photographer Charlie Bennet and writer Helena Gustavsson combine epic images of New York's most famous landmarks devoid of people with thematic essays and in-depth interviews with New Yorkers. They chronicle a unique few months in the city that never sleeps.
