Issue 2: And It Won't Be the Last
I didn’t think I would have an appetite for a pandemic issue anytime soon, but looking through the photos two years after its beginning, I was reminded of things that were already beginning to fade and blur together. Making a record seemed worthwhile, if only for myself.
These photos miss so much—the intimacy of suffering and loss, the fear and dread, the burnout in hospitals, and on and on. They remind me that history moves at the margins, while the broad unaffected middle watches headlines and chyrons.
They also make me angry, for how much we miss the point and how poorly equipped we are to care for each other in the ways that matter. We should have been prepared for this pandemic. We should be prepared for the next. We won’t be, for the same reasons we weren’t.
