I photographed the 75th anniversary of Roswell, New Mexico's annual UFO festival, for a story that never ended up running. The community has leaned hard into its history with a convergence of ufologists, conspiracy theorists, aliens, and sci-fi nerds each July and I had a fantastic time joining them!
