Last night’s storm that rolled through the desert near Carefree, AZ. Possibly my last storm chase of the “official” Monsoon Season. I am hoping for some El Niño driven thunderstorms into October and November. #azwx #stormphotography

A multitude of lightning strikes with filaments splay down from a storm cloud over rain misted desert mountains and city lights in this night photography that is in no shape or form AI generated.

Some of you may know I started my own tour company, and earlier this week I had my first (non-family) clients! 🥳 I took these gentlemen on a three-hour history tour around Downtown Phoenix and Papago Park. Their smiles indicate that they enjoyed it!

AZ people, don’t forget we’ll be having an awesome storm photography show the next two nights! Cover charge is $5, and there will be beverages, live music, art, and good conversation. Not to mention the storm film premiere!

This is a big deal and it deserves a lot more attention. A federal whistleblower is sounding the alarm about a nationwide DHS operation called the “Unlawful Voter Initiative.” According to the disclosure, hundreds of employees at U.S. Citizenship and

Some cattle waiting for the grass to green up. I took this just outside of Wupatki National Monument back in July as the Monsoon storms were just starting up.

Thunderstorms were incredibly active across Arizona last night, and this particular one rolled over the Black Hills into Camp Verde at about 9:45pm. I took these telephoto from about 30 miles away across the valley. #azwx #stormphotography

If you want to take a good rainbow photo while in the North Texas, you have to get low to hide the power lines 🤷‍♂️

Silos are one of my favorite subjects to photograph. Where I live in Arizona they are harder to come by, but out on the Great Plains, there are plenty. Here’s some lit up gold during a stormy sunset in Eastern Colorado.

After getting tangled up in a dust storm, I made it into the clear and to this spot at the last minute for a bolt during the final glow of sunset. From August 29th near Casa Grande, Arizona. #azwx #stormchasing #azmonsoon

This beautiful low-precipitation supercell took advantage of the sunset to show off its striped cloud structure and electrical power. It also tried pretty hard to make a tornado, but failed on that front. Still, the most incredible storm I’ve experienced yet! From June 10th in northeastern Kansas.

A quartet of bolts striking over the Phoenix skyline as dust lingers from a haboob that passed by a couple hours prior. I shot this from Peoria, some 25 miles from Downtown Phoenix in the early morning hours of August 21st. #azwx #stormphotography

Last night we had severe storms rolling into the Valley from the south, east, and north! This beastly bolt struck in the desert north of Phoenix just at after 11pm. #azwx #stormphotography

I’m stoked to announce that two of my photos have been selected to show at the Monsoon Show 2026! This show runs annually at the BRILL Gallery & Studio here in Phoenix, and I’d love it if you’d come out and support myself and my fellow artists! Deets in the comments 👇

The most incredible storm I’ve ever seen! The only way it could’ve been any more impressive is if it would’ve set down a tornado right in front of us. June 10th was a right to remember in Eastern Kansas. #stormchasing

Thunderstorms rolling across the Coconino Plateau. It’s not often that a Sunday afternoon in May feels like the Monsoon making a cameo appearance. #StormPhotography #azwx

Photographers, don’t sleep on going back through your archives to find forgotten gems. I took this last spring, got busy, and didn’t even finish culling from this day. Re-discovered it last week and I’m pretty stoked. Definitely the best bee photo I’ve ever taken.
