Mudfest 2013

On April 17-18, the Northwest Automotive Press Association (NWAPA) held their 16th annual Mudfest, which brings together the latest and greatest SUVs and crossovers for a competition to see which is the best, voted among NWAPA’s members. This year, 23 vehicles from 13 manufacturers participated in the competition at Dirtfish Rally School in Snoqualmie, Washington and I was honored to be chosen to cover the event for NWAPA. The two-day shoot had me outdoors for most of the day, with the second day primarily out in the mud and rain, but it was a lot of fun overall and I’m quite happy with how the photos turned out. Here is a link to more information about the event, including the officially-published photos:

I actually ended up with almost 700 photos from the two days, which you can all find here on these links:

Special thanks go to my old friend and editor Ryan Douthit from Subiesport/Driving Sports/Media Spigot for giving me the opportunity to shoot the event. Here are a few of my own personal favorites:
