The 2021 video experience: Taking a visual flipbook tour through the year’s most memorable moments

As the first full year of Lookout Santa Cruz unfolded, so too did an eventful 2021.

It was a heckuva combination.

As the visual captures of photographer Kevin Painchaud below attest, there was much to be seen in Santa Cruz County over the past 12 months. Enjoy Kevin’s video and check out our other slate of year-end goodies below.

(Oh, and, spoiler alert: Be on the Lookout over the weekend for our top storylines of 2022 and a fun Wallace Baine column throwing wild darts all across the next year’s landscape.)
