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.

A setup I expected to be completely non-chaseable today in the St. Louis region ended up producing the best shelf cloud so far this year at home over New Baden. This event was rare in that blue sky was visible above the low-level cloud features. These views are half a mile from my apartment.

I love your photography! Just beautiful weather shots. I am just learning how to photograph more in depth and teaching my son about weather for his science olympiad class. He loves storms and weather as much as I do. I also was pleased to see your dedication to Christ on your page as well. So thank you for that, and for your beautiful photographs!
