we learned last week that the paper cleaned up at this year’s associated press california/nevada newswriting and photo contest.

the sun won the top two awards in a competition among all newspapers in the region. against newspapers in our circulation class — 75,000 to 200,000 — the sun also won first place in six of the seven newswriting categories as well as a first place for portrait photography for my picture of ivan jimenez barajas, 3, a fourth-generation circo atayde clown who performs as “papelito.”

the recognition reminded me how much i adored the time at the mexican circus last summer. here’s the blog post from last summer with more pictures.

and this is papelito:
