From Dan: How the crime of copyright infringement took $1 million from me and shut down my operation.

In September of 2025, my work is generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I'm being forced to shut down my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. 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. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field.

This is a shot I've always been meaning to get. Unfortunately I can't claim this idea, since many local photographers have done this scene before. This is looking east from downtown at the State Capitol dome, which at this exact location is juxtaposed perfectly with several East End church steeples. I wasn't 100% happy with the lighting on this evening, since the setting sun was being filtered through cirrus. I plan to shoot this scene again this week as lighting/sky conditions permit.

I recognize all the steeples except for the dark brown one in the foreground. Which church is this, please?

Hi Pam, the dark brown steeple is on the Sacred Heart Catholic church. It's a smaller 'secondary' steeple (their main one is out of the picture to the right).
