So much of what I've learned in the last year about tornado (and hail!) forecasting from the perspective of a chaser can be summed up with this: You want the most CAPE with the least water.

Can't wait to get my correct splint for my mallet finger vs the portion of a chopstick that I am currently using. I ran out of popsicle sticks.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

While wandering through Chicago on a lunch break from the Flash Bus Tour with Joe McNally and David Hobby (Strobist/ @davidhobby.bsky.social), I stumbled upon this scene. #photography #dailyphoto

Great Blue Heron. This is from the same encounter as my pinned post. The bird is looking right in this view. It was such a great encounter, must post as it was a memorable moment. #Birds #photography #GreatBlueHeron #Herons #ArdeaHerodias

Ok you got me, this isn’t Rome. It’s actually in the area of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore on the UP of Michigan. I happened to be able to finally visit for the first time and during peak fall colors. It’s a trip that #photography #nationalparks #NPS

I get so disheartened when I get rejections from trying to get my foot in the door at various publications. It makes me think that I am not good enough. Maybe I'm not. I will keep learning. Keep photographing. And keep trying.

Yep, if you are going to cover something as a journalist, you need to remain impartial. That's your job. #journalism #photography #photojournalism

Frequently, more so for some like me, we don't have a clear vision of what our goals are. This storm chase was absolutely one of those moments where I had no idea what I wanted to accomplish. #photography #stormchasing #weather

Well, I try to stay positive when I go out on a mission to photograph things and it doesn't work out. I still grabbed a couple images, but the eagles were just too far away for the gear I have and they were not active. I still got out for walk, and I still got to see about 8 eagles. So, it's a win.

Not doing so hot finding eagles. Alas, they may have moved on, or are just roosting as I’m a bit late and it’s not a great day. My 500mm just isn’t enough. Alas #birds #eagles

This is Dignity which is a tribute to the various Native American tribes located in the region. Speaking of region, it sits along…

Well, heading out tomorrow to photograph some eagles. A little bit north of Madison along the WI river, you can find quite the collection right now. The congregate just a bit downstream of one of the dams, which is a pretty common area to find them. These are 2022 while just out driving. #birds

A key mentality that I have carried in my life since my 8th grade earth science teacher said it: “The more you know, the more you know you don’t know.” This isn’t a reason to give up learning, it’s a reason to celebrate that you understand there is always more. We should never stop learning.

I really don’t have the spare cash, but I am seriously considering finally getting a 95mm circ pol filter for my big lens. I’m planning to go do some eagle pictures on Monday What to do, what to do?

Wow, I just broke 500 followers. Thank you everyone who decided to follow along. I have a question. I’ve finally gotten in a habit of sharing a photo a day, and I am working to make more images to share. But, what other content do you want to see from me? What can I do to help you learn more?
