Fall sunsets in St. Louis; Work intervals II; December 13 WV freezing rain
|
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. |
This isn't going to be much more than a filler post to keep some things going here during this very boring (albeit productive) span of web design work I'm neck-deep in. As I've mentioned before, I do mainly freelance web design work as my main 'vehicle' that enables the freedom I have to chase. Business has been very good the past couple of months, but this means I have literally been eating and breathing work from awakening to going to sleep every day. Essentially I'm putting in about 1.5 work days in on a daily basis, only resting to eat and sleep. Again, as exhausting as times like these are, they are what makes it possible for me to drop everything on a whim and cover severe weather and winter storms. In the freelance world, work has its ups and downs, so I have to take advantage of the plentiful times while they last.
It has been a rather somber past few weeks in the storm chasing world, with at least two losses happening to observer families that have put a damper on any inspiration to think up an interesting blog post. So, aside from the brief update above explaining my lack of activity lately, I'll close this post with a couple of nice sunsets that we've had here in St. Louis during October-November, plus a newly-assembled panorama of a set of Arch-rainbow images from May 2010. (Again, I'm sorry for the watermarks, but I've been getting slammed by copyright infringers lately).
December 13 freezing rain in West Virginia
I was in Charleston, West Virginia for work when a light freezing rain event occurred in the state. I spent several hours monitoring the road conditions in the area, but saw no impacts and captured no footage.
