A Covid Grad

A Covid grad from the inside.

Social distancing left the Graduates of 2020 looking for new and inventive ways to carry out a graduation ceremony and celebration.

This beauty is Paige. I’ve known her, her whole life, and adore her and her strong and magnetic personality.

I was excited, honoured, and little curious about how this was all going to play out.

It took place at a race track. I believe there was more than one school involved. So there were a lot of diplomas to be given out, and a lot of waiting.

Each graduates name was called with a brief introduction.

They would then proceed to do a lap around the racetrack, safely segregated inside their vehicle. Waving to the crowds out an open window or sunroof, like a parade of royals.

It was a grand procession of vehicles of all shapes, makes, and models circling the track, each containing graduates optimistic for a future yet unwritten.

Here are some photos from the day.

These two have been best friends forever. They made a pact when they were little, to be there for each other on grad day. And so here they are.
