Friday night, I sought out green and red. Never did I expect to look up and see ...blue.
Note: My white balance was verified in post-processing using other aurora images. I'm floored that this was reality for a brief moment.

Yesterday's Solar Eclipse viewed from Wolf Lake, IL.
In hindsight, the discovery of a sunken boat in my foreground drew my attention, but it was the reflection of intermittent clouds that really capped off the shot during totality.

Make sure you pass two cars in a double yellow on a hill to really get that extra 200 yards, champ. Not like weโre gonna be sitting at the same stop sign a mile up the road.
Hope you saw something we didnโt!
The Stratford tornado today (yesterday?) was more than I could have ever hoped for. What a finale to one of the most epic weeks of chasing I've ever had.
2023, you continue to amaze me.

When I graduated high school, my mom uncovered this old letter I wrote to myself. Iโve kept it ever since, and with today being National Weather Personโs Day, it feels fitting to share. Donโt ever give up on your dreams. Thanks for inspiring me since I was a kid,

My family is okay. My dad sent this moments before everyone went into the basement. Meanwhile, my brother was heading home from Marshall, but heโs safe as well. Way, way too close for comfort. Taken west of Waterloo.

I posted a photo yesterday, so Iโll post a video today! Still floored by the pillars of red that exploded during this. Lots to edit, but in the coming days Iโll be sharing much more, including a clip that has blue pillars overhead. Yes - blue.

Although the sun seemed nonexistent, there was a whisper of light that made it into the canyons near the entrance to Zion. Somehow, someway, we scored a rainbow.
What a moment.
10 shots across right at totality, I managed to successfully capture what I would consider my favorite shot at Valley of the Gods. Iโve visited this place countless times, so it feels very rewarding to make this vision come to life.

The planning paid off! Shooting at 400mm, the annular eclipse in southern Utah was one for the memory books. More images to share over the coming days!

In one of the most unusual encounters Iโve ever seen, the Northern Lights bent into some sort of a DNA-like ladder, which included vibrant greens and pink STEVE.
What a night to remember.

PLEASE RETWEET -
Myself and a few others have organized a GoFundMe to provide disaster relief through Convoy of Hope, an organization donating various supplies, as well as shelter for victims of the KY tornadoes.

Currently atop Lutsen Mountain, enjoying a beer and warming myself up (Iโm wearing shorts?). Anyway, I couldnโt wait to give a crack at my sunrise shot from this morning, so without further ado, here is arguably my favorite shot ever.
I absolutely love the North Shores.

Less than 48 hours ago I was home. Since then, I drove overnight to Nebraska, had car troubles, drove overnight AGAIN back to Madison, solved the car troubles, then drove back to Iowa and had arguably one of the best executed chases of my career.
Storm chasing is something else.
Pretty bizarre seeing multiple planes sitting on the tarmac while the entirety of O'Hare was under a shelter in place. Can't imagine what it must've been like for those individuals during the gusts.

Lots more to edit tomorrow, but I couldn't wait to sit down and work on this one. The fact I took this just two minutes from my house makes it extra special. Wisconsin, you balled out tonight.

The ODESZA movie resurfaced a core memory of a voicemail I have saved from my sister, Evelyn.
Not a day goes by that I donโt miss her, and although Iโd trade anything to spend another second holding her, I know sheโs still with me all the time.
Iโll say it again: music heals.
To the chasing community, if thereโs one request I have from all of you this season, itโs this. Send me all of the rainbows you see. In those moments, just know my sister is watching down over you. Hereโs why:
Plains Chasing Tips (๐งต)
1. AAA Memberships are affordable and can be lifesaving. They also have benefits that go beyond car assistance.
2. Download maps for offline use. Google Maps makes this exceptionally easy.

One more from last night because I am honestly pretty obsessed with this tree. What a perk to have it just a few miles from my house.

This fall I spent time in Minnesota and Michigan, yet I think some of my favorite success came right here close to home in Wisconsin. Devil's Lake never ceases to amaze me, this year especially.

Wild to think this shot is two years old, yet itโll always be one of my favorites. A last minute decision to chase offered some of the most remarkable natural light Iโve seen close to home.
I might be 6 days behind editing the southern supercell on 5/24, but I gotta say, man what a sight. It was fun chatting cameras and storms with you next to this empty field,

For the first time in 3 years, Iโve been officially discharged from therapy.
A little ๐งต story on some things I learned, what I struggled with, and what purpose I found in the process. 1/x
Well, itโs official! Iโm buying a van!
My winter project now is converting this 2018 Ram ProMaster into the ultimate storm chasing/landscape photography vehicle. Prepare to see me under a LOT more mesos all across the country next spring!
It's going to be a busy day processing everything from last night, but I couldn't wait to edit this one first. This was taken at 11:46pm just outside of Monico, Wisconsin.
Yes - Wisconsin. I'm still speechless, and probably will be for a long time.
