Photos of the year: Pioneer Press photographer John Autey reflects on 2025
Two unspeakable acts of evil — a political assassination and a school shooting — will haunt memories of 2025.
With that violence and the political turmoil that continues unabated, it was important for me to find quiet moments like Catherine Ayers reading the Bible or a young girl easing a lantern into a pond.
With all the grief and pain I was able to find moments of joy and triumph like an incarcerated man celebrating a chess move or a teacher thrilled to see a student again.
It was my privilege to photograph the moments I witnessed, to share those slices in time. This slideshow represents 20 of my favorite photos from 2025.
