The past few weeks have been painful to watch through the lens the 24 hour news cycle and through the statuses of friends on social media. I'm not going to claim I know what it's like to be either be black in America or a member of law enforcement. I just hope that our nation can find some middle ground and heal. What I do know is that I am against unjustified killings of anyone regardless of race or chosen profession. We are all Americans and need to remember we are tied to one another. Commonalitles are more important than differences.

Nor'easter Films Featured in 2017 International Cloud Atlas
This video and associated stills of a snow devil captured in Halfmoon, New York in February of 2014 will be featured in the World Meteorological Organization's 2017 edition of the International Cloud Atlas.
From Wikipedia: The International Cloud Atlas (also Cloud Atlas) is a cloud atlas first published in 1896] and remaining in print since then. Its initial purposes included to aid in the training of meteorologists and to promote more consistent use of vocabulary describing clouds, both important for early weather forecasting. The first edition featured color plates of color photographs, then still a very new technology, yet was noted for being inexpensive. Numerous later editions have been published.

Amber Waves: As a content creator and working photographer, I spend a lot of time in the car searching for locations to shoot footage. Over the course of my career, I have accumulated hundreds of out-of-the-way places to shoot stills and video. I have to admit, the process is fun. Exploring, even on a small scale, is fascinating. Each excursion out into the regions of the map that were once only names heard on weather reports is addicting. A dirt road, good music and a camera slung over the headrest of the passenger seat are all very satisfying after a gray winter.
Because Clean Cars Are Boring
Summer weather and farm roads are the perfect recipe for great on location shots.
