Peterson, a native New Yorker and corporate lawyer by profession, took an evening stroll in mid-March and, upon coming face-to-face with an empty Lincoln Center, he took it upon himself to visit the city's top cultural destinations on his bike and snap photos of each one of them--completely devoid of people. The result is an almost eerie book, a reminder of the sadness and heartbreak that we've all been through but, in a way, also a hopeful message: the worst is, hopefully, behind us. In total, Peterson snapped over 400 photographs across more than 200 locations. --Time Out, New York
