This week marks the 50-year anniversary to two car bomb explosions that killed six activists in Colorado's Chicano movement. Law enforcement investigated, but no one was ever charged. The official theory was that those who died blew themselves up. But friends and family always suspected foul play.

Honored to be among the talented winners announced for the nationwide Best of Photojournalism competition.

My entries for Breaking News and Live both managed to win second place. Both were part of my station's coverage of the Marshall Fire, the most destructive wildfire in Colorado history that destroyed over 1,000 homes in just a few hours.
