It feels like an understatement to express that 2020 was a year like no other — and yet, a review of the photographs that best helped us tell stories of the raging pandemic, protests for racial justice and an extraordinary presidential election makes the singularity of 2020 clear.
Our photographers, Jesse Costa and Robin Lubbock, captured a year rich in devastating loss and anxiety, but also showed us moments of solidarity — even levity — in Massachusetts.
The pair got as close — arguably closer — than most to many of the scenes that define the last 12 months. These are the images that will stay with us beyond this year.
