Beauty comes in many forms. A diver suspended in midair. A flock of pigeons rising in the snow. The stillness of a lobster boat and a man and dog on a paddleboard in calm ocean waters at sunset. Portland Press Herald photographers uncover unexpected beauty every day. They show us the profound beauty of connection. The tenderness of a loving husband and his wife, who is in hospice, celebrating their anniversary. The resilience of families who have traveled from a world away trying to make a new home in a strange land together. The collective grief of a community experiencing enormous loss after an act of previously unimaginable violence. It is a great privilege to photograph the people and stories of Maine. We share some of the best of the year from the photographers of the Portland Press Herald in a gallery at the Portland Public Library.
Join us for light refreshments and conversation on Friday, Feb. 2 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. You can view the full Photos of the Year galleries online here.
