Calling Out West got a new guitarist, so they called me for some new promo shots. Here's a few of my faves from the day. Also, give them a listen Here. These dudes rock!  

This And That. Randomness from 2012.....

A mish/mash of recent work from the Spring 2012 chasing season and some freelance stuff.

Recent Work

Here is a group portrait of the Cherokee Trail High School Wrestling Team. Really had a blast with the new strobes on this one!

Look for severe weather photography updates as early as next week!

Boston Subway Light

I just got back from a wonderful trip to Boston with my Dad. I made a few frames along the way. Here's one from the Stoney Brook subway station in SW Boston.

Calling Out West (band portraits)

Well hey there stranger! it's been awhile. Anyway, I had a great shoot last week with Calling Out West, a Denver rock band who are preparing to release their EP entitled "Apollo". They have a a show on October 7th. More info here https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=247667018609232.






This was my first shoot with the new lights and triggers, so I'm really happy with the results. I may add a third light here soon. I'm really starting to get into the strobist stuff. I'll try and update this more often.

Destructive Iowa Tornadoes

What can I say. It was an amazing chase, and my first in Iowa! Unfortunately, several towns in Iowa took severe damage. It looks like several of the tornadoes were EF-3 strength. Ill let the images do the talking...

The Mapleton, IA tornado viewed from the south. This tornado destroyed more than 60% of the town. Fortunately no one was killed, despite several injuries. We had no idea the tornado was impacting the town at that time.

EF-2 damage in the town of Early, IA.

Recent Work

Sorry for the lack of updates. Here is a few recent frames. Look for more activity during the Spring!

Tex's Saddle Shop

One of many hidden treasures in Santa Rosa, NM. Pictured here is Olen Taylor, a legally blind saddle-maker and painter. This guy is going to be famous when he is finally discovered.

8/16/10 Deer Trail and Brush Colorado Tornadoes!

Holy Cow! What a year for tornadoes in Colorado.I Chased with Mark Farnik and Ben Toms today and we scored four tornadoes! Two near Deer Trail and two more 70 miles North, on the South side of Brush. We had a really nice boundary to play with and storms had a chance to produce only a few tornadoes before moving off the NE to SW oriented boundary. Very photogenic tornadoes!

June 10th Deer Trail Colorado Tornadoes

What an amazing day! Colorado has had a fantastic year for tornadoes. This more than made up for missing the Campo Tornadoes. After a series of cell mergers and interactions, this storm anchored on the southern end of the chain of supercells and spun like a top, dropping 3ish tornadoes.

I have seen tons of supercells but nothing compares to this symmetry! Tornado #1 ongoing.

Looks like we had a weak satellite circulation associated with Tornado #2

Tornado #2 looking epic.
