Risk?? Risk??? He achieved the Seat of Criminality level during his first term. Apparently Justice Jackson only defines criminality as tanking the economy.

Standing strong

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Honestly, it's an acceleration for ICE, but the racial profiling, the weird treating people like meat, the checkpoints, all that is straight up normal day CBP in the SW border in my experience. Ramped up to sending death squads into cities instead of only at the border.

Kicking off the new year with a thunderous bang talking storm chasing and weather photography with @jakecasephoto.bsky.social discussing mindset, planning, and tips. Be sure to tune in! lnk.to/downbursts-d... #weather #stormchasing #naturephotography #photographypodcast #PhotographersofBlueSky

Looking forward to sharing my conversation with @jakecasephoto.bsky.social about storm chasing photography and monsoon season in the American Southwest later this week. Be sure to tune in!

It’s a foggy day here in Northern Arizona. Hope you all are well, my friends!

A photo I’ve never shared before from the Aurora Borealis on October 10th, 2024. This is a two image composite, one exposed for the sky and one for the foreground. I fired the shutter and I drove the car too. Good times during a rare night out in the Arizona desert.

If there’s one thing that photos don’t do justice, it’s meteors. IRL it’s like “Oh! There’s one!” but in the photo it just looks like a little lens scratch 🤷‍♂️ but anyway, here’s my best effort from the Geminids on Saturday night. #Astrophotography #Geminids

Lightning + UICM

Crack the sky. #arizonamonsoon #stormchasing

A monochromatic elk for Monochrome Monday. #ClassicMonochrome #WildlifePhotography

That one time I went comet hunting and the clouds hid the comet but put on a great sunset. #Arizona #LandscapePhotography

Monochrome doesn’t just mean black and white! #classicmonochrome

On a stormy day with much more structure and precip than bolts, I managed to catch this wild lightning strike northwest of Phoenix on Tuesday evening. #azwx #stormchasing

Another look at the high-precipitation supercell that blasted over Phoenix at lunchtime on Tuesday. #azwx #stormchasing

Sunset supercell over west Phoenix right now!! #azwx

A refresh of one of my favorite lightning images of this past summer. Two big bolts touching down in Arizona’s Verde Valley on the evening of August 15th. #azwx #stormphotography

Mammatus clouds over Interstate 8 near Gila Bend, Arizona back on July 2nd. #azwx

This is my dog Gidget. Her 5 favorite things: 1. Family time 2. Food (of the human variety) 3. Chewing 4. Barking 5. Laying on pillows

Three photos I made of the Aurora Borealis last night near Wickenburg, Arizona. It wasn’t quite as bright to the naked eye, but it was by far the brightest and most vibrant I’ve seen here in AZ.

Happy Fencepost Friday, my friends! #FencepostFriday

In case you missed it live last night, a recording of my presentation for the National Academy of Sciences' public lecture series is now available on YouTube. "Climate Change through the Lens of Increasing Hydroclimate Whiplash"

Moonrise over the Sonoran Desert two nights ago. This is a favorite Saguaro of mine and I fear that the land it occupies will soon fall victim to the cancerous growth of the Phoenix suburbs.

Stellar’s Jay, Northern Arizona. #WildlifePhotography

Showy goldeneye. #macrophotography

Happy All Hallow’s Eve!

Breathing new life into old photos. From the summer of 2014 when I was obsessed with epic sunsets and wide angle lenses. #LandscapePhotography

Tonight is the last chance to see the Monsoon Show at the BRILL Gallery in Phoenix! It's open from 6pm-10pm with free beer and refreshments ($5 cover fee). I'll be there all night with two photos hanging on the wall so come by and say hi!

A few photographs from yesterday’s storms east of Phoenix over the Superstition and Mazatzal Mountains. #azwx #classicmonochrome

On September 27th, I watched this shelf cloud rip over the Little Harquala Mountains near Hope, Arizona. #azwx #stormchasing

Flash flooding in Indian Bend Wash / Scottsdale Greenbelt from today’s severe storms. #azwx

Big supercell over the Phoenix east valley at about 2pm today. #azwx

Tonight at the BRILL Gallery in downtown Phoenix, the Monsoon Show opens! Proud to say that I’ll have two photos on display. I’ll be there for both opening nights (tonight and tomorrow night) and the closing night on October 18th.

Hate, deceit, and violence seem to rearing their ugly faces more than ever. The world needs our art more than ever. #PhotographersUnited

This crested caracara distracted me from my storm chasing mission last week as it stood atop this saguaro scanning the desert floor for prey. #Arizona #WildlifePhotography

Hey friends, I’m stoked to announce that I’ll have two photography pieces on display in the Monsoon Show at Phoenix’s BRILL Gallery later this month! I’m not telling which photos though, it’s a surprise. If you’d like to attend the opening or closing nights, be sure to RSVP, link in comments!

The outflow that spawned thunderstorm after thunderstorm damn near to Wickenburg tonight. #azwx #monsoon2025

Last night’s fiery sunset over the Dome Rock Mountains near Quartzite, Arizona.

I can’t even believe I got this photo. I wasn’t supposed to chase that day. I ran out to the edge of the desert at the last minute. I happened across this scene, but this cell wasn’t producing much lightning. Still, I set up the cameras & waited. Finally, it let loose this beastly double bolt. #azwx

This is the most unique angle I got of Monday’s haboob, taken from Highway 347 near Maricopa, Arizona. #azwx #monsoon2025 #stormchasing

Monday’s ominous haboob rolling through Casa Grande, Arizona. Photos do not do justice to how massive it was, but I try. #azwx #monsoon2025 #stormchasing

A color and a black & white of the little haboob yesterday evening near Florence, Arizona. Spent most of the time driving through the dust instead of photographing it 😂 #azwx #arizonamonsoon #monsoon2025

God Rays 🙌🏼 lighting up the horizon over Munds Mountain and Lee Mountain on August 15th. #azwx #landscapephotography

Happy #WorldPhotographyDay! In celebration, a few lightning photos I made the other day. #azwx #stormchasing

Ermahgerd, it’s Monochrome Monday! #ClassicMonochrome

My favorite bolts from last night, taken on the north side of Peoria. I don’t love the foregrounds on the first 2 but I was under the edge of another storm behind me & had to shoot from in the car. The second 2 came after hiking to the top of a butte once the storms were a safe distance away. #azwx
