Sunset storms over Charleston

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.

Three isolated storms on the cold front approached Charleston from the north this evening, slowly dissipating in the process thanks to limited instability from all-day cloud cover. Twilight storms are some of my favorites - lots of deep, saturated colors to work with. It's times like these where it's better to be far away from a storm than right beneath it.
