I am a storm chaser, adventurer and nature photographer.
So I have lived in North Carolina all of my life, but until recently, I had never visited one of our greatest attractions! Its called Grandfather Mountain, located near the blue ridge parkway in the western part of the state. It is famously known for its ‘swinging bridge’, which sits over a mile high across … More Grandfather Mountain
So I have been trying to decide which images to share from my ‘photoaday’ project for school. It is fun and sometimes exhausting trying to take a good photo everyday, but I think the practice will turn anyone into a technically correct photographer. I have decided to share two of my images from this week, … More Photos from my week
(Try to say the title 5 times fast) 🙂 So for school I am required to take a photo everyday. When I first got this assignment, I became worried because the teacher said I had to start including people in my pictures. As a wildlife guy, I usually like my pictures with just natural elements. … More Putting people in my pictures
Last week was another good week for storms/clouds, and over the weekend I made my way to the coast. I stayed near Wilmington Nc, and because it was labor day weekend, the beach was packed! I usually dont like taking my camera equipment out on the sand… but the storms were firing up! I watched … More North Carolina Coast
Besides some of the other places I went this week that I talked about in my last blog post, I also went on a few waterfall trips!

The storms were not too long lived, but we were able to see the power generated by the storms before they … More Exploring Southern Virginia
I had one of the most exciting weeks I have had in a while. I went to a couple of new places, and saw a bunch of animals. It all started out earlier this week along the blue ridge parkway. When looking at a map, I found an area north of boone that I havent … More A week of lakes, mountains, and all sorts of creatures
I got a classic look at some strong storms close to Reidsville NC. Nic and I were chasing, and we decided to stick with a small but growing cell as it headed toward a lake. We definitely picked the right cell because it soon exploded and became severe warned. As we watched the cloud tops … More North Carolina Lightning
A great day for storm chasing yesterday! Accomplished pictures: Lightning reflection over water, lightning over downtown Greensboro, and rain shaft illuminated by sunset. I have always wanted to capture lightning over my home town, and it finally worked out! Driving less than 200 miles, forecaster Nic Robertson & I hunted down at least 3 different … More Strong storms and electric sky
What an interesting night last night! I had a 18 hour break from work and so my friend Brad and I decided to head to Linville Gorge for some hiking, camping, and maybe some storm chasing. We started out the trip by trying to figure out where to camp. This was a new area of … More Thunderstorms & Hiking
