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. This page is a detailed account of the biggest threat to my photography and video operation that I had to battle daily to just barely survive, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem facing all of my colleagues as well. |
2013 was an eventful yet challenging and tragic year for storm chasing. I'm thankful to have had a one of my best years in terms of imagery captured. In this year-end post, I thought I'd recap some of my favorite photos and videos from the Plains and Midwest in 2013.
