We had both big, fresh news stories and old favorites (or frenemies) to cover this year.
The biggest story this year may be what has not happened. We did not once again freeze to death in our beds, nor live through a grid collapse in the hottest summer on record . We did not see a continuation of the January 6 insurrection into an ongoing shooting war, for the most part. We did not get yet another special session or two of the Endless 87th Texas Legislature to make it a felony to host a drag queen storytime, or be a drag queen, or teach kids to read.
In short, we survived, and we began to recover from two really bad traumatic years as a community and a nation. The reverberating shock of the disappearance of the constitutional right to reproductive freedom has been horrible but also had been well-telegraphed; that story was basically written when Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died in 2020.
Here in Austin we had both new, big stories and old favorites to cover. Relations between Austin police and the city and community they serve are still fraught. Major investments in new infrastructure like Project Connect are still complex and time-consuming. Council still faces politically difficult choices on housing, energy, and climate.

John Anderson's Top 10 Photos of 2022 - 1 of 10 - Photos - The Austin ChronicleIn late April of this year, I endured surgery to repair a retinal tear inside the eye I use to take photographs. To keep working, I was forced to use my other eye for the roughly 10 weeks of recovery time. I have never used that eye for photos and found myself doing so for the first time. Working that way was awkward initially, but I soon felt as though I was relearning to see. The experience reminded me of learning photography when I started over 35 years ago. I was drawn to purely graphic compositions and tilted my camera using a Dutch angle quite a bit. It was fun to photograph in a new way and a magnificent stairwell inside the Texas Memorial Museum provided a great opportunity to play with my “new” eye and camera.
