I miss lightning. One of the +100 photos from this storm that I have yet to share. 2024.6.6 - Storm over North Platte Nebraska, photographed from nearly 60 miles away.

I intentionally took this photo with focus on the ancient ruins and blurring the background of the Milky Way. During this lucky shot, a meteorite streaked across the sky. Painted Hand Pueblo, Canyons of the Ancients National Monument. Focus

In October, I shot my first ever desert lightning bolts. Because it was at night, I really couldn't do much for the composition. It was still a really fun and unexpected capture. Near Natural Bridges National Monument, Utah.

Struggled editing this one; so this is what I'm going with for now. I was shooting in sub-optimal lighting conditions. Eventually, I'll need to return and give this another try. Zamara, Colorado

Located in Stonewall Gap Colorado, sitting a few feet from the road and flanked by a tall spine of rock, this old Chevy Deluxe sits beside a house. Its brilliant blue made it an easy find and a great photo.

Near perfect setting for an abandoned truck; almost like it was left there and waiting just for me to find. I have worked several edits of this shot, but I think this more natural tone is my current favorite.

The Model General Store I was surprised to find someone was living here. As I approached for the shot, several dogs ran up in defense of the property. Though they were all friendly, a skinny, lengthy figure shouted apologies from a doorway. "Sorry Dude", said the man. (Continued ⬇️)

Soaking up the Sun

Landscape photography is definitely not my strongpoint, but I do enjoy it. Cloudy Fall afternoon in La Veta Colorado.

Hiding in the grass

Happy Friday! I'll go into more detail about this shot in another week or two. Great story behind the owner!

I will always love minimalist style photography. Making the viewer and the subject seem like they are alone in the world. Tyrone Colorado

My favorite shot from last week's Aurora. Simple and to the point. Prairie Fire

Shot from Tuesday night. Even with the intense floodlights on an airport tarmac, the aurora was still visible!

Dusty's As an avid Twister fan, I can only assume this place was awesome.

Over the next few weeks I'll be posting photos from a recent trip to southern CO and UT. Lots of landscapes, abandoned buildings, old vehicles, ancient Puebloan structures, astrophotography, and a little lightning. The Doll House - Dark Canyon Wilderness - Bears Ears National Monument

Beautiful sunset on the first night of vacation.

1 year ago today - the October 10th aurora. Been a while since I shot the aurora. Timing has just not been working out lately. I'll need to find some more creative foreground for the next show.

About a year ago, I planned one of the best non-storm photos I have ever taken. Now, we have another potentially visible comet! Making plans for another southwest trip in the next week or two, and hopefully, another comet shot!

Path to the Storm

Midnight Madness

Yesterday's chase was very grungy, but I was able to sneak in a few clear shots. Little structure north of Culbertson Nebraska.

We lost a titan. Robert Redford was an amazing actor and person. He stared in my favorite western of all time; Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. In addition to being an actor, Redford was a champion for the environment and human rights. Rest easy Kid.

Fury at Sunset

Got some great bolts from yesterday's impromptu storm chase!

Late nights in Kansas

Moonlit Lightning. I was unfortunately just a hair out of focus on this one. I'll have to try again next season.

"B" Roll Photo. I need to work on more storm edits. Until then, here is a random photo taken while out chasing.

Akron Colorado - 2025.05.23. I was not in a great position after the storm transitioned southeast of I-76. This was my only decent shot of the fully condensed tornado before it dissipated north of Akron.

The mass of storms always impresses me. Millions of gallons of water floating above the High Plains.

Absolutely love it when I can combine my two favorite subjects in one photo: Storms & Abandoned.
