2020 Storm Chasing & Photography Accounts, Photos and Videos
|
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. |
2020 started out very busy with frequent winter weather trips and local coverage of icy roads. Meteorological spring began with events on the first two days of the season. However, the COVID-19 pandemic quickly shut down storm chasing trips, with travel restrictions confining all operations to within the St. Louis metro area through the end of May. July brought a major success with a DSLR still capture of a Gateway Arch lightning strike, a ten-year long photo goal realized.
