Masked Man by redy4et

Masked Man

My husband sat down to rest during a museum tour. The giant mural behind him is a shot of Russ & Daughters delicatessen in the 1940s. It’s still in operation today. I was struck by the fact that we’ve been wearing masks now for more than 2 years, since the start of the pandemic, and they are still required indoors in public buildings, museums, shops, theaters, and on all public transportation including airplanes. Some states in the US are less strict but New York demands compliance. At least now we are able to travel more freely as long we’re wearing a face covering.
What an amazing shot and history. We too have been wearing masks since the beginning of the pandemic. In fact we still are and it has become so natural that instead of putting lipstick on, you put your mask on.

I go with Diana's quote - sure haven't had to buy much lipstick these past two years! Arkansas isn't as strict (wish they were) but I still wear mine anywhere indoors. Love that old time mural.

Looks as if your husband is sitting on the counter? No complulsory masks on this side of the pond, but many choose to do so in shops.

composed perfectly and love your capture. Maryland and D.C. have dropped practically all mask mandates. You are still required to wear them on public transportation but not everyone does and it's no longer being enforced. Time will tell what happens.

Great shot of your hubby in front of the mural, he looks like he fits right in. Here in Canada they have lifted the mask mandate but most people still wear them indoors with groups of people.
