2001 Storm Chasing & Photography Accounts, Photos and Videos
I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. This page is a detailed account of the biggest threat to my photography and video operation that I had to battle daily to just barely survive, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem facing all of my colleagues as well. |
2001 was my most memorable year in many respects, storm adventures being possibly the biggest one of them. This was the first year I made a chase to the Great Plains in the spring, starting what would become an annual tradition, and prodiving the impetus for an eventual move away from West Virginia 9 years later.
