Lozilu's MUD RUN New England 7/27/2013
It was a warm, sunny Saturday wedged between two cool rainy days... and that made it a perfect day for a Mud Run! With over 2500 runners and 2000+ spectators, I was there with a green Lozilu shirt on taking official photography of racers as they crossed the finish line!
I arrived bright and early to get things set up at the finish line. It was so much fun to see all of the racers and there cheer squad arrive in bright, silly, and wild outfits! The race was truly an experience; scattered with crazy obstacles, paparazzi (like myself) snapping photos, and of course, a TON of mud! Almost every runner that came through the finish line, some speckled in mud, most drenched in it, told me of what a great time they had. Naturally, I had a great time capturing their big, muddy smiles... Priceless!
The 5k Mud Run, directed by Lozilu and L.I.F.E., benefited kids and young adults with leukemia and lymphoma and helped them to pay their medical bills and live happier, healthier lives. I was thrilled to shoot over 1500 images for the cause, and for the mud runners- who will treasure a photo of their candid, muddy moment as they came across the finish line in a race that is sure to be remembered always!

NASCAR at NHMS, 7/12/2013-7/14/2013
It was a beautiful weekend for a race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. As the crowds numbered into the hundred of thousands, I was there with a Focus Fan Photos vest on taking official photography of ecstatic fans!
Friday was a cooler start to the epic weekend, and as the qualifying runs went on, I was track side in the stands snapping pics of fans all afternoon. How much fun to see Father and son, Families, Couples, and diehards gathering around to see the qualifying time of their favorite driver(s). And my first experience with Focus Fan Photos was just as much fun, meeting colleagues and peers who all share an interest and passion in capturing a moment!
Sunday was even better! Bright and early the track was packed, and I was excited to get out there and take some Fan photography! Little did I know I would be stationed on Pit Row-- talk about right in the action! I stood in front of Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s Pit truck, for hours with a line of anxious fans wrapped around the corner! Around noon, as the race was getting started, things slowed down in front of 88's truck, and I went off on a hunt to find even more fans. I got a few fan photos with Danika Patrick, saw Dale Earnhardt Jr. in person, and even got a wave from Kyle Busch!
Some 1000 images later, my fast and furious weekend was coming to a close, and I was proud of myself and my Focus Fan Photos team. I met some great people, fans included, and enjoyed every minute of my time shooting Fan Photography with Focus Fan Photos for the NASCAR weekend at NHMS!
