A Sense of Doubt blog post #2877 - 2022 - The Year in Pictures - NYT's and Mine

Today, I am sharing the Year in Pictures by the NY Times and following it with my year in pictures, which includes both pictures from blog posts and just pictures accumulated this year sitting in my folders.

I added some links for some of my pictures but not all.

Snapshots of 2022

Photographers for The New York Times trod around the globe in 2022 to document news, history and everyday life, whether embedded alongside troops on the front lines in Ukraine, chronicling lawmakers in the halls of Congress or reporting from floods and wildfires on several continents.

Near the end of the year, The Times publishes its annual Year in Pictures feature. This edition of The Morning is a tribute to the work of The Times’s photographers.

The photos

Millions of people fled Ukraine in the early weeks of Russia’s invasion, seeking refuge in other countries. Desperate families shoved their way onto a train leaving the capital, Kyiv, in early March:

Ketanji Brown Jackson became the first Black woman appointed as a Supreme Court justice. Her husband, Patrick Jackson, and her daughter Leila sat behind her on the first day of her Senate confirmation hearings in March:

For years, China’s government had stuck to its zero-Covid strategy of going to extreme lengths to mitigate the virus, before easing restrictions late this year after highly unusual protests. The government had locked down entire cities, erecting security checkpoints and other barriers. In May, a worker locked a fence around a residential area in Shanghai:

Gun violence in the U.S. is a global outlier; firearms kill more Americans than they do people in any comparable nation. In May, 10 Black people were shot to death in a racist massacre at a supermarket in Buffalo. Among the victims was 65-year-old Celestine Chaney, who was buying ingredients for a favorite indulgence, strawberry shortcake. At her funeral, her granddaughter Charon Reed, 24, held her own son:

Ten days after the Buffalo shooting, 19 children and two teachers were shot to death at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. A bullet ripped through a fourth-grade math notebook belonging to one of the victims, 10-year-old Uziyah Garcia:

The Jan. 6 committee used television as a way to achieve maximum impact in June. “This was TV meant to break through, and to matter,” The Times’s chief television critic, James Poniewozik, wrote:

Ukraine’s military surprised most experts by not only staving off defeat but also forcing Russian soldiers to retreat in parts of the country. Here, an artillery unit from Ukraine’s 58th Brigade fired at Russian infantry in August in the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine:

After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June, several state laws changed to further restrict abortion procedures. Catrina Rainey had learned in May that one of the twins she was carrying had a severe birth defect, was unlikely to live past six months outside the womb and could threaten the viability of the other twin. She underwent a termination of the unhealthy fetus to protect the healthy sibling. It was one of the last such procedures performed in Ohio, which outlawed them after the Supreme Court’s ruling. Rainey, James Packwood and their 9-year-old son at home in August, one month before her due date:

Serena Williams said farewell at the U.S. Open in September after announcing she was stepping back from tennis:

Intense heat in Britain, floods in Pakistan, a major winter storm that swept the U.S.: The effects of extreme weather became more common in 2022. In South Korea in September, a survivor was pulled from a flooded underground parking lot:

Nancy Pelosi, the first woman to serve as House speaker, announced in November that she would step down from Democratic leadership after this congressional term:

Erin Schaff/The New York Times

A mourner waved a pride flag at a candlelit vigil for the victims of the shooting last month at a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs that killed five people:

Daniel Brenner for The New York Times

We got a new glimpse of the ancient universe. The James Webb Space Telescope, the most powerful space observatory ever built, offered a spectacular view of our nascent cosmos:

NASA, ESA, CSA, and STScI

- Days ago = 2741 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
