I have wanted to take this photo for a long, long time.
It’s always been absolutely impossible due to all the cars, the pedestrians, drunk bachelorettes (just kidding… kind of) and horse-drawn carriages.
This was shot in late March of 2020.
After 10 days being cooped up at home I wanted to go on an adventure!
As a human, with a body, I just needed to stretch my legs and change the scenery.
As an artist I felt the burning desire to make something beautiful, and uplift people!
This is Broadway. Downtown Nashville, at the very heart of the city.
It's normally absolute chaos! Huge crowds, you can barely walk without bumping into someone in any direction.
Loud music coming from every country music bar and Honky Tonks. Party Floats and Bachelorette Buses riding up and town the Strip, not to mention the horse drawn carriages and street performers.
Not today. It was desolate.
The eerie quiet was almost unsettling.
I got to go out to the very middle of the busiest intersection on the most trafficked street in the state of Tennessee... and spend 15 minutes with my camera and tripod to capture this!
When I talked to the policeman who came from nearby, he was happy to pull around the corner and maintain this clear shot for me.
(We kept a respectful 6 feet of distance of course)
I hope you are all safe and staying as active as you can, while we wait for this to blow over =)
In the meantime, here is an image that may never, ever be captured again, frozen in time.
