St. Louis cityscapes update
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. |
With the Cardinals' unexpected run into the postseason, airspace restrictions along with a few cloudy days have axed my plans for a second helicopter flight this month. That now will have to wait until next spring when the deep green trees return. Our "summer green" leaves are on their way out - and thanks to a dry second half of summer, colors so far have not been as photogenic as they could be. Nonetheless, we have had a few very nice crisp, clear and cool mornings that have made downtown photo runs productive. I'm hoping to make it into some of the surrounding neighborhoods around downtown in the next week, as these have their own character and flavor that I hope to be able to capture with a few images. Once the trees have lost all of their leaves, photography opportunities will generally diminish (though not entirely) until we get our first good snowfall.
These are a few selected images from a couple of recent photo shoots around town, all included in the main St. Louis photo gallery. There are a few more variants of these in the City Skyline, Tower Grove Park and Old Courthouse sections.
