St. Louis Arch with double rainbow - May 26

By DAN ROBINSON

Editor/Photographer

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.

FULL GALLERY: Double rainbow over the Gateway Arch

A major photography goal realized today! Storms fired over downtown this afternoon and evening, and remained stationary for hours.

Here is one quick-and-dirty panorama stitch, done manually in Photoshop. The automatic panorama stitching software I use has always had trouble with the curved lines of the Arch, and a second curved element (rainbow) didn't improve its performance. I'm planning to try assembling this in other stitching software programs to see if I can get a clean result.
