Alan Hawes pulls up images on his computer that are raw and intimate, like the anguished eyes of a 72-year-old man in a hospital bed, trapped behind a mask.
"He was extremely scared, and I think that comes across in the photo," says Hawes.
"He's just kind of looking into the lens like, 'help me.' "
A photojournalist for nearly two decades, Hawes, 57, is used to taking pictures of people when they're most vulnerable.
