Sometimes going out to the Plains to chase storms is very fruitful and other times it’s a bust, over Memorial Day weekend both happened as I went searching for tornadoes. The storms all produced tornadoes but I was either not in position or too far away to see them, including a rain-wrapped tornado that threatened the town of Hugo as I was driving through it.

While I haven’t been to Nebraska for quite a while, I seem to always be navigating storms when I visit that state. This time though I went looking for storms and found them near McCook as I was fortunate to witness my first tornado. But how did I get there? Was it just dumb luck that I arrived and saw a tornado? Did I keep chasing?

What was supposed to be a quick trip to Great Sand Dunes National Park turned out not to be, but with over 15” of fresh snow we made the most of the time spent in the mountains. One of the things I have learned doing photography, especially landscape photography, is that you need to be flexible and not hold on to any one thing too tightly. We still got our cameras out and even took pictures of some of the other inhabitants of the park.

Photoshelter and Squarespace both offer photographers a wide variety of options when it comes to displaying their images for sale but how do they compare to one another? What are the strengths and weaknesses of each service and should that impact your decision?

PhotoShelter is a popular photography-specific content management system that claims to have nearly 80,000 people using their service and for almost 9 years, I was one of those people. But with time, there were less updates to their service, egregious pricing, and a lack of communication and direction.

One of the most hyped photo editing tools out there is Luminar 2018 and I have had the pleasure of using it for the last several months, so I wanted to give my thoughts to its capabilities, real world practicality, and if it is worth the money when compared to other tools out there. Will Skylum’s Luminar 2018 replace Lightroom as the go-to photo editing platform or does it work better as a piece of the overall photo editing pie?

For years, I’ve been a marketing consultant helping brands sell on online marketplaces like Amazon so I’m going to take the jump in myself. I’m going to be documenting each step and writing about my successes and my failures too. I’m sure it’ll be a learning experience for me to sell my own product, I don’t just get to say “if you double your advertising budget…” when it’s my own money.

Each and every year, thunderstorms feed off of the moisture-laden atmosphere and well up into severe thunderstorms that are capable of producing large hail, damaging wind, lightning, and tornadoes. In recent years, the activity of storm chasing has exploded as people have an interest in seeing these thunderstorms up close. There is a magnificent dichotomy about severe thunderstorms, while chaotic and potentially destructive they are always awe-inspiring and breathtakingly beautiful.
