All the new pandemic graves, 1
There were more new graves at this cemetery than I’d ever noticed before, surely a result of the 626 COVID deaths* in Lubbock.
I had a philosophical argument with myself over even making this image (and the two that will follow). It seemed intrusive in a way that my normal cemetery images don’t. But it also seemed historically important, also in a way that my regular cemetery images don’t.
History won.

Worship in the Time of COVID is not nearly as catchy a title as Love in the Time of Cholera.
And anyway, hand sanitizer as a narrative is really, really boring.
