The Color Run

Last Sunday, I showed up to volunteer (along with my husband and a good friend who is also a photographer) at a unique event in Seattle - The Color Run, a 5k race involving throwing 'color' (basically color dust) at participants at each kilometer.

After fulfilling our assignment to give people directions before the race, we headed to the finish line to start taking pictures. We were also cheering on my sister-in-law Elli (an artistic photographer) and her husband Brandon (a talented musician).

It was awesome.

As a photographer, The Color Run combined my favorite things: people, vibrant color and the ability to blend into a crowd and capture moments as they happen.

Next year I hope that I can register in time to run (it sold out so quickly!), but either way I wouldn't miss being there to take pictures.

I'll share another post soon with some pictures I took of Elli and Brandon after the race. I seriously love these pictures.
