As a storm chaser I’m use to driving endless miles in search for photogenic storms. But one of the perks of having a home in Oklahoma is that on occasion great storms come to you, as was the case last night when I took these lightning photos.

Storm Chasing: The Product Sales Experience
August 19, 2009 Leave a Comment

Recently, I have had a few bad experiences with television media companies, as well as print media companies concerning the ability to sell a product – either video or prints.

Happy Storm Chasers Intercept Nebraska Supercell

You know how you can tell when your tour customers are happy? They smile! And, these guys should be smiling after witnessing awe-inspiring storm structure in none other than the roadless Nebraska Sandhills on May 20th (Tour 4). Not too mention we just drove through that dark precip area in the background a few minutes before this was taken.
