The best photojournalists carefully observe the world. They notice the most authentic details and bring them to us in ways we are unable to forget.
Photographs by themselves may not be able to change the world or stop a war, but they can pinpoint what we have in common, what's worth our investment, our hope, our struggle and our fight. They can help us see our surroundings more clearly. They can inspire us to action.
Here we share some of the best of the year from the photographers of the Portland Press Herald.

The 2014 Carrabec girls basketball team knew how to flip fortunes.
The Cobras went 5-14 in 2013. A year later, Carrabec went 18-5 and won the program’s first regional championship.
It was a run that surprised many, except the Cobras. Carrabec entered the season with a strong and talented sophomore class, a group that was long familiar with knowing what each other could accomplish on the hardwood, as well as the system put in place by head coach Skip Rugh.
