It seemed like the perfect day for viewing the stunning flower-filled trees.
With warm temperatures and the sun out, crowds of people strolled under the cherry blossoms and spread out picnic blankets in Tokyo’s Yoyogi Park last weekend, all but ignoring the posted signs warning of the dangers of COVID-19 spreading.
Near one of the tall white signs, two pairs of young women stood together and took selfies under the canopy of flowers, oblivious to the warnings.

With more than 20,000 reported cases as of Saturday afternoon, Iran has become one of the epicenters of the coronavirus pandemic.
The virus has affected Iranian leadership, and data show the spread is far worse than reported. As the crisis worsens, NPR talked with a group of independent documentary photographers about their experiences on the ground. Some took to the streets to cover daily life, some covered the response from private and public hospitals as staff deal with the pandemic, and some, as they socially distance themselves, take a more personal approach to storytelling.
Here are their stories.

As Americans shift their lives indoors and away from large public gatherings, people across the U.S. are grappling with basic questions about life, work and social distancing in the age of COVID-19.
Schools have shut down or pivoted to online learning, restaurants have halted dine-in services, and businesses across the nation have altered their work hours or shuttered completely. NPR checked in this week, with residents of three U.S. cities that have been among the first to face high numbers of cases and restrictions related to the outbreak.

Some of the clouds are orange, a small patch is pink and the softest blue sky. Last light on far away mountain peak, few clouds scuttled along and the sky is peace, sweet blue gentleness. . Dark shades of night, gazing stars and holding your hand in mine; par www.withManish.com

Mehndi ceremony • Documenting
Indian weddings are such a journey. Long days of preparation, generally a week of ceremonies and events, plenty of colorful suits and dishes, and much more.
On her journey to her marriage, one of the first ceremony for the bride is the mehndi rassam / henna ceremony.
As following the traditions, according to what our parents, grand-parents and ancestors used to do back in the motherland, we continue, here, the rassam. Being auspicious, just as a way to wish her prosperity and luck for her new life.

Some moments from Mumbai I will always cherish, are those spent with these kids.
Sitting with them and talking, playing, seeing them being nasty around or just fighting, before they go back to work, to sell what they have – a pen, a packet of tissues, earings. I remember them telling me about their favorite hindi movies. Viraj’s love for chocolate, and burgers. Veer’s favorite subjects at school, maths or sciences. Radhika wanting to be a teacher when she grows up. Them working hard here when they can, to help their family. I remember their stories, of some people they came across, their inhumanity and cruelty, that just made my blood boil.
Life, at times, gives you more than what you expect, and sometimes, just takes away what is needed. Anything that has a value to you, or just something you have a right on. I believe as a child, you have the right to grow up in a healthy and safe environment, surrounded by loving and supportive ones. Life owes you innocence and carefreeness, untainted of burdensome responsibilities or atrocities. What is, sometimes, just taken away, way too early, reflected by worry lines on the forehead.
But everytime we would meet, just seeing them laugh was a good source of oxytocin. Astonished by their maturity, softness and purity. How they would fight with each other to share their juice or food with me or “Didi we won’t have”. Just big hearts and bright smiles.
Lucrezia couldn’t decide if she liked her new portrait. His Holiness commissioned Bartolomeo Veneto to paint Lucrezia in the light of Virgin Mother. Yet, she just couldn’t see it, but maybe this was truly how she looked. After all, one can never truly know one’s own face, or so her mother said. Lucrezia resigned to accept this gift from her father and would hang it in her quarters. When Cesare returned from his expedition in France, she would then ask him what he thought. He always told her the truth, or maybe just what she wanted to hear. He always knew how to make her feel better. She missed him dearly. #bjd #photostory #islanddollamy #islanddoll #ayuana #italianrenaissance

Dearest Cesare,
Rome is not the same without you; life is not the same without you. The days are darker and the nights are longer with you away. Oh, please return to me soon!
Our brother Juan is restless and chases the girls relentlessly, causing fights with the Orsini sons and stirring trouble in the streets. Father threatens to take his swords and melt them down! Little Jofre is as sweet and innocent as ever and has even taken to playing dolls with me! My heart shall break to see him grow.
Oh Cesare! Bring me something beautiful from France. Come home and tell me about your travels. I long to hear all that you have done and seen and heard and tasted! I wish father would let me travel. One day perhaps.
I pray that you are safe. Promise me you are safe, my love. I shall not want to live life if you are not by my side.
With all the love my heart can give,
Your dearest Lucrezia
