August 2008 News Clip Contest Winners



First: Thomas R. Cordova, Inland Valley Daily Bulletin
Ontario firefighters battle a structure fire in the the early Sunday, August 3, 2008 in Ontario.


Second: Stan Lim, The Press-Enterprise
Sgt. Timothy Salvador, 20 of Bakersfield, says goodbye to wife Tyanne, 20, and three-month-old daughter McKenna Friday, August 22, 2008 in San Bernardino as he prepares for deployment to Iraq with 1st Battalion, 185th Armor Regiment.


Third: Will Lester, Inland Valley Daily Bulletin
West Nile Virus victim Alfonso Arredondo, 83, lies in bed as his son Carl Arredondo, 50, caresses his head at home Wednesday, August 13, 2008 in San Dimas.

Comments: Any of these could have switched places very easily but there has to be a winner so... the one we chose was another average spot news event that the photographer turned into a beautiful image, incorporating the light and smoke. Second place captured the raw emotion of the imminent breakup of this military family. Third had nice composition and captured an emotional moment without needing to show the tears.
