Join us to meet our photographers and reflect on a year in photo on Friday, February 6th from 5:00-7:00 p.m at the Portland Public Library.
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 the photojournalist’s job: within the blur of the constant motion of life, they 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 our photographers enjoyed finding them.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
