Traveling 8,000 miles throughout Washington state in the summer and fall of 2010, Seattle-based location photographer Patrick Bennett shot a series of images to promote tourism and travel in the region.

These photos, which will be used for periodicals such as the Washington Wine Tour Guide,, Washington Scenic Byways and the Washington State Travel Planner, feature images of local and international travelers exploring the state while rock climbing, parasailing, rodeo riding, beachcombing, fishing, hiking and wine tasting.

Images for all three publications will be available in the first part of 2011.
