David González is a Bronx-born visual journalist who worked at The New York Times from 1990 to 2024. He served as the Bronx bureau chief, a Metro religion writer, and the “About New York” columnist. He also served as Caribbean and Central America bureau chief and longtime co-editor of the “Lens” blog. His work focuses on religion as it plays out in people’s daily lives, and on graffiti and street art, and music and dance in community settings.
