HONORABLE MENTION - David Goldman – The Associated Press – “The Spaces We Filled Now Filled With Space” - A driver walks to catch the train toward Boston after parking in the unusually empty lot for commuters Wednesday, March 18, 2020, in South Attleboro, Mass. It’s a scene playing out all over the world. The spaces we filled, now filled with space. The empty streets, the silent playgrounds and the lone commuter. Rush hour feels more like hush hour. From above, life on earth looks different. The patterns of our daily routines is now replaced by the patterns of empty parking lots.
