Resident’s iPhone captures compelling footage of Redwood City amid pandemic

It started when Noah McDonough, a 20-year Redwood City resident, went on walks for exercise and began taking photos with his iPhone 8 Plus.

The impressive images depict a beautiful city — and one made quiet amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

A resident in the Eagle Hill/Mount Carmel area, McDonough is not a photographer by trade. Rather, he works in the 3D engineering design software and 3D printing industry.

“My wife and I love this city for more reasons than we can list,” he said.
