Chuck Fazio and Caitlin Rice, two out-of-state photojournalists, were hired by Visit Seattle to document well-known and intricate details Seattle has to offer during the FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\n

Joining \u201cThe Jake and Spike Show<\/a>\u201d on KIRO Newsradio, the pair shared their favorite aspects of the city, what it means to them to have the honor of capturing photos for the rest of the world to see, and how welcoming the city\u2019s people have been during their brief stay.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be completely honest, I told our friends at Visit Seattle that I would do this for nothing,\u201d Fazio said. \u201cOur primary goal was to come and meet people, which is what we did. This has been, for us, 1o remarkable days, as somebody who does what I do, to be able to be called upon by the people that market the destination to capture it for them, and they\u2019re going to use our art to show the world who they are, there is no greater mission, calling, or goal for a photographer than that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite traveling the world, Fazio says Seattle tops his list of destination cities<\/p>\n

Fazio continued to gush over what he had seen in Seattle, noting that despite traveling all over the world, Seattle reigns supreme on his list of destination cities.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur primary mission has been to photograph our international visitors to show them, not people who are already here,\u201d Fazio said. \u201cI\u2019ve got to tell you, as an American, I\u2019m pretty proud that the city these folks are seeing is Seattle. I travel all over the country, literally all over the world, and I mean this with all the sincerity I could muster, I don\u2019t think there is a better city in America than this one.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Seattle] has everything. Granted, I\u2019ve been here for 10 days,\u201d Fazio continued. \u201cI understand completely that I\u2019ve been here during the best weather, I get all that, I\u2019m not dumb. I can interpolate, I get all that stuff, but this is a great city. This is truly a great city. We met some great people. The people here, I can\u2019t generalize, but I can only tell you that the people we have seen and touched and interacted with, it\u2019s a vibe here in Seattle.\u201d<\/p>\n
