There’s something about photographing lightning that will always keep me coming back. Every strike is different. Every strike is random. Every strike is so exciting in its own way. There are no moments more awe-inspiring than sitting near a storm and watching that sheer, raw power reach out of the sky and down to the […]
Whoa! What a week that just was. I am so far behind on processing timelapses and photos from several incredible storm days that it is going to take this entire week to catch up. BTW thanks to the monsoon for being active then taking a much deserved break to allow for me to catch up. […]
Wow! Some weekends just stand apart from the others when it comes to a successful outing with the camera. This past weekend was no different as I scored numerous bolts and really amazing scenes. I’ve got too much material to pour through and honestly, the volume is beginning to get to me in a daunting […]
Let’s keep this one quick and simple: there’s been a pretty fruitful period of lightning in the region! I’ve had a few good days in a row in New Mexico and I’m gearing up for yet another today. As I wrote in “Lessons Learned” I have been learning A LOT about this pattern and how […]

Well we’re in the thick of it now aren’t we? This weekend I spent quite a bit of time on the road pursuing monsoon storms across the state. I had some limited success getting some bolts Saturday but less so today. It’s hard to believe that the season is really only just beginning as I’ve […]
I wrote on Twitter earlier this week that I’d just really like to be pinched because the skies of New Mexico during the summer really are unbelievable. Finally, as we moved into July I got a chance to hit the road and do some photography of monsoon storms around the state. There’s still A LOT […]
Last night as outflow from storms in eastern New Mexico raced west — we saw dry showers and thunderstorms try to develop over the city of Albuquerque. Eventually, the lower atmosphere wet enough and we had some light rain in parts of the metro. But weather wise, yesterday was just a run of the mill […]
I had a lot of different experiences this past week, many of them revolved around cool hikes or monsoon activity in New Mexico. Here’s some pics from this past week.
