Summit County, Colorado. Sept. 21, 2025.

Some of the moments from the Samba Queen and King Colorado showcase last weekend.

From the Samba Queen and King Colorado showcase in Boulder on June 7, 2025. Story (and more photos) to come.

Today, Gov. Jared Polis signed HB25 1017. This codifies a landmark SCOTUS ruling known as the Olmstead decision into state law, enshrining the right for Coloradans with disabilities to live independently. Background here: www.cpr.org/2025/04/29/c...

I heard from many who are fed up with the state’s K-12 funding situation and many who want to see changes to TABOR.

“Survivors of sexual assault shared their stories at the state capitol at a town hall Monday that revolved around the human toll of delayed DNA results in sexual assault cases.”

Colorado Today, a daily news podcast featuring the journalism of @cprnews.bsky.social, @denverite.bsky.social and @krccnews.bsky.social, launched this morning. The team previewed the podcast for a live audience last week. Here are a few moments from that event. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

A friend pointed out that Mustang’s Wikipedia day quotes this old CPR story of mine and it made my day.

On this International Holocaust Remembrance Day, I'm resharing a 2022 documentary I co-reported and co-wrote with @storiesbyjess.bsky.social for Louisville Public Media about how the U.S. & Germany teach school children about past atrocities, and why.

What my short breaks from work throughout the day have looked like as of late.

And earlier this year, I got to photograph Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble's performance of Millicent Johnnie's “Bamboula: Musicians’ Brew” at Denver Ballet Guild’s 2024 Young Dancers Competition. Photographed at the time as part of the Candidly Created team.

Also enjoyed photographing James Sewell Ballet in Minneapolis, MN this summer. I danced with the company about 15 years ago, so it was a blast to capture images from a dress rehearsal with several local choral groups, especially now that this will be JSB's final performance season.

Another favorite was going to a punk show in Boulder for the sake of journalism! Young artists in the area are trying to grow the local punk music scene. Reported and photographed this one for @boulderrl.bsky.social: boulderreportinglab.org/2024/11/01/d...

New byline with @boulderrl.bsky.social:

“When I moved here to CO, I brought the accumulation of decades of original artwork… from my youth until my most contemporary work,” artist Kevin McCormack said. “When the Marshall fire occurred, all of that work was destroyed.”
