Together Apart: A COVID-19 photo essay by Cody Duty

Together Apart: A COVID-19 photo essay by Cody Duty

Since the pandemic arrived in Houston, we have adapted to a new normal.

We have quarantined at home to keep ourselves and others safe.

We have visited drive-thru COVID-19 testing sites.

We have gone to work on the front lines of the pandemic.

We have celebrated the birthdays of loved ones with car parades.

We have submitted to thermal scanners that take our temperatures as we enter medical buildings.

We have said goodbye, temporarily, to our favorite restaurants and venues, until it is safe for us congregate again in large groups.

Texas Medical Center photojournalist Cody Duty has captured pandemic life with images that wring warmth and beauty from this devastating period in history.
