Photographer Michael McKisson picked out some of our favorite Arizona Luminaria photos from the last year.
They range from outtakes that didn’t make it into a story to photos that show the visual reporting of in-depth stories. The collection includes work by McKisson, Arizona Luminaria intern Noor Haghighi and reporters John Washington and Carolina Cuellar.
Enjoy the journey back in time with us — from the beginning of 2024 to the end:
