In Focus: Looking back on 2024

Batavia players celebrate their Class 4A Batavia Sectional final win over Geneva on Thursday, Feb. 22, 2024.

At the end of every year, one of my favorite things to do is look back on the moments captured by myself and our amazing team of photographers.

With each photo, there is a feeling or memory that resurfaces and I usually end up grinning to myself as I look through each weeks' worth of work.

Everything from jubilation on the sports fields to kids in costume as they collect candy.

Each photograph is a historical marker for that community and year after year, I find it a privilege to get to be one of many storytellers to help preserve those moments.
