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.

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

Sunset bolts last night near Red Rock, Arizona. Stoked that I finally got some good lightning! My friends Tina & Kevin kindly let me tag along on their chase. #azwx #stormchasing #arizonamonsoon

I spent just a bit of time at the magical Shunkawauken Falls. This is my favorite image I made there. #PhotographersUnited #Waterfalls

Cabin nights. #PhotographersUnited #Astrophotography

This is my first blue hour / Milky Way composite. I set up the tripod at the scene I wanted, took one exposure for the landscape after sunset at about 8pm, and then another for the sky at about 10pm. I blended the two images in Photoshop, and darkened the landscape to feel more nightish. 1/2

A “gustnado” type dust devil on the leading edge of the haboob that blew through Benson, Arizona yesterday afternoon. #azwx
