Some more images from Monday's storm chase. Weird occlusions, a landspout base and stacked shelfs. @ghosttrainphoto.bsky.social spotted elk between Akron and Brush, Colorado. I've never seen elk out that far, though they once did before Colorado was a state #CoWX.

@ghosttrainphoto.bsky.social and I found a perfect spot yesterday to see this amazing horizontal vortex in front of a hailstorm near Wray, Colorado. Click to embiggen, hopefully Bluesky goes full resolution.

Had a great time chasing this weekend with @timslane.bsky.social - and roughly 7000 other chasers

Had a great weekend storm chasing with @timslane.bsky.social

Love at first slight!

Got to photograph some fun dudes the other night! Always a joy to photograph The Koffin Kats

Last night was much needed aurora therapy for me. I will never tire of seeing these magical lights

Aurora Borealis comes into view - A Flock of Seagulls Impressive substorm last night. Waited for hours for 20 minutes of dazzling lights, well worth it I'd say

Just like that...I've become a middle aged bird watcher...

Sometimes the best storms are the quiet surprises that no one pays attention to. This was a little sub severe storm in mid May last summer near DIA

Always dreaming about storms

Timeline cleanse of a burner of a sunset this evening

I present to you a master class of laziness. I never left my car for any of these shots. Thank you to my window mount and sunroof 🙂

And with that, I bid thee goodnight.

Despite being sick with COVID (again) I couldn't miss this magical evening with my old friend, Lady Aurora

Dust in the wind North Platte, NE May 2025

I've never had a LinkedIn - until now...so if you get a random invite from me on there do not be alarmed, it's just me joining the 20th century

Throwback to one of my favorite chases in one of my favorite places August 2024 Pawnee National Grasslands

This! I'm an atheist as well, but this is great.

We are not going to take it anymore! NO KINGS!! Me in my original ANTIFA uniform meeting Dee Snider many moons ago.

Went on another "applying for PhDs and/or research positions" spree. Knocked out 13 applications in <3 hours...I think the grand total is up to ~60 total applications since July. BTW, if anyone is looking for a neuroimaging analyst, let me know!! Here's some lightning from earlier today

More Bruce photos from my impromptu trip to Los Angeles

What does one do when one gets laid off? Flies to LA to photograph one's favorite band of course!

Sudden change of weekend plans...I'm off to LA to see Bruce Dickinson and the House Band of Hell at The Wiltern for their final show of the North American tour!!

Definitely had to pinch myself last night...I got to photograph my number one artist of all time. I've been a fan of Bruce Dickinson longer than I've been a fan of Iron Maiden. I've waited over 20 years to see this man tour his solo material, and he was finally in my hometown last night.

My SDS (storm deprivation syndrome) is kicking in already, and it's not even October... This is going to be a long winter

Couldn't get enough of the fall colors last weekend, so came back for more. Definitely at peak this weekend

I'm not much of a morning person, but I'm really glad I made an exception for this EPIC sunrise near Leadville, CO yesterday morning.

Autumn is here

Getting some more practice shots before tomorrow's air show. Need to dial in a few settings, but overall pretty happy with the results

Things may be spicy politically, but...I still get nostalgic whenever I see/hear the Thunderbirds. Reminds me of getting off shift at the Nellis AFB hospital at 0600 and trying to sleep through their practice runs each morning.

Had a great day hiking up near Leadville yesterday! Trying my hand at some landscape photography. Still learning what works for editing and composition, but I like the cinematic edits with grand sweeping views.

Lightning cracks the night Got some great late season bolts out in Pawnee National grasslands

The Reveal - A bolt of lightning illuminates curtains of rain and a hidden supercell.

Fury at Sunset

We are horrified to learn of the shooting of Charlie Kirk. Political violence has no place in democracy. The foundation of democracy rests on the principle that differences can be debated vigorously, but peacefully, without intimidation or acts of violence.

As the sun sets on storm season, concert season begins.

Well that was a dream come true...got to photograph The Offspring! Been a fan of theirs since my angsty teenage years.

Starting the week with a sunset

Excited for some aurora chanced tonight!! Took this timelapse during the May 10th event last year. Still one of the coolest experiences I've ever had

I need a bit of audience participation for this one. We're seeing Bruce Dickinson again at the end of September and I'd like to make a sign to show during Rain On The Graves that says "I chase tornadoes to this song" but I need help deciding which tornado. Thoughts?

Had a wonderful time seeing Bruce Dickinson and crew in Albuquerque. Didn't get a lot of photos because I know that Bruce does not like having phones shoved in his face. Given that I was front and center I only snuck this one shot

ERIN BECOMING BETTER ORGANIZED News to me...everything is still a mess

Structure > Tornadoes I said what I said

Though I am now Cat 5, please understand that this does not mean I have anything together...I'm just crashing out. Thank you for your understanding

No, don't believe this...I most certainly don't have my shit together

Parallels

After a very, very busy week...got to sneak out for a wee storm chase, it was worth it @timslane.bsky.social
