The Associated Press showcased its top photographs of 2022, reflecting on a year that’s experienced plenty of ups and downs across the globe.
On Thursday, AP released 150 images that “can convey the feeling of a world convulsing,” the media outlet wrote. This past year has been eventful, and at times heartbreaking or even inspiring. Among the photos selected cover the invasion of Ukraine, the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and flooding that took place in India, Nigeria and Florida.
