Acclaimed documentary photographer Dorothea Lange once said, “Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.” That speaks to the core of our job as photojournalists: within the blur of the constant motion of life, we search for moments, stopping time for an instant to reveal some character, beauty or deeper meaning. This collection of images are some moments during 2025 that are worth pausing to contemplate. We hope you appreciate viewing them as much as we enjoyed finding them.
