Hey! Just thought I'd check in, not sure if anyone will remember me or not. I've retired, moved to a mountain town, and most of my time is spent taking photos now. I've gotten a little better since I last posted-I sell my photos in a gallery, and have had a few photos used by Arizona Highways. Hope anyone reading this is doing well!
The Monsoon is comming...
The beginning of a rainy day during the wet season in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia Jan. 2016
June 29th, 2015 brought some epic lightning with the monsoons! I was lucky enough to be able to capture it from Antelope Meadows in Prescott Valley. This is a composite of just 5 photos taken over the course of about 3 minutes. I used photoshop to compile the images together. This was an active and loud storm! Winds were gusting up to around 50 mph. I had to hold down my tripod to prevent it from shaking!

After exploring some spots that Willie and I were familiar with, we set off for a new location in search of badlands and canyons. While driving along the road we saw some hills that looked like they could be interesting and we pulled over at an opening in the fence. While walking out to the hills, we stumbled upon something else...
Willie and David promptly stopped in the middle of their tracks and explained "daaayyyum". These amazing mud cracks were peeling themselves away all around us. A winter stream that had dried up left beautiful cracked mud in its place.
The sun was still quite high and made for some harsh lighting, so I was a little confused what David and Willie were seeing at first. But once I looked towards some of the shadows and the parts that weren't catching the blinding light, it was impossible not to ignore the beautiful shapes these peeling mud cracks were creating. This one reminded me of skin peeling off a sunburnt face.

The Kuang Si (Kaung Xi) waterfalls southwest of Luang Prabang in Laos is a travertine falls where the water flows over a series of limestone ledges. During the fall monsoon season the water levels rise resulting in some great photo opportunities. This is a long exposure of one of the lower falls.

Just shockingly amazing... It was a crazy lightning show tonight around the East Bay! This was around Livermore, CA at the parking lot areas of the San Francisco Premium Outlets. Talk about crazy weather lately for this month of September so far... (Monday evening, September 11, 2017)
Weather update - Unusual thunderstorm outbreak for California for the week of (2017) September 10:
A slow-moving cut-off low pressure area was setting up off the SoCal coast & has the potential to bring some very active weather to parts of the state over the next 5 days. On Monday & Tuesday, the storm threat was to shift northward from SoCal to encompass the rest of Cali including the Bay Area.
It all started with strong wind gusts between 35-50 mph that roared thru Monterey County and parts of the South Bay in the early morning hours. Later, temps climbed to the 90s in San Jose. Then finally came the rain, thunder & lightning. The NWS tweeted out that the Bay Area saw more than 800 lightning strikes & cloud flashes between noon and 5 p.m.! About 7,000 flashes lit up the sky across the Bay Area Monday night along with CG strikes. In an unusual display of meteorological madness, Mother Nature had doused parts of the Bay Area with brief heavy rain Monday night & zapped some spots with lightning while leaving other areas untouched. A low-pressure area hanging out over the Pacific had delivered the t-storms, which rumbled thru the Bay Area starting in the late afternoon & early evening in the South Bay and later moved northward towards SF. While this weather may have seemed weird, NWS meteorologist Anna Schneider, said it’s only a tad unusual. “We’re starting to approach that time of year when this kind of weather is more common,” she said. The t-storms were forecast to stick around thru Tuesday night. Temps were expected to drop Tuesday then start warming up again once the t-storms depart. Warmer, drier weather was expected to return to the region by the upcoming weekend...
Bangkok, known in Thai as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon or Krung Thep for short, is the capital, largest urban area and primate city of Thailand. It was a small trading post at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River during the Ayutthaya Kingdom and came to the forefront of Thailand when it was given the status as the capital city in 1768 after the burning of Ayuthaya. Bangkok is the world's 22nd largest city by population with approximately registered 8,160,522 residents (July 2007), but due to large unregistered influxes of migrants from the North East of Thailand and of many nations across Asia, the population of greater Bangkok is estimated at nearly 15 million people.
Returning to the capital Bangkok. From our lonely beach on Koh Kood to a Metropole with more than 15 million people. Such a big contrast. Photo taken from a bus window at 1/1300s and ISO 400. It's the so-called Mega Bridge which is part of 13 km long Industrial Ring Road located in Bangkok ´s main industrial area
Bangkok (Thai: กรุงเทพมหานคร, Krung Thep) is de hoofdstad van Thailand. Bangkok is tevens de grootste stad, met 8.160.522 geregistreerde inwoners (juni 2007), het werkelijke aantal ligt op ongeveer 15 miljoen inwoners. De stad is gevestigd op de oostelijke oever van de Menam, dicht bij de Golf van Thailand. Bangkok begon als klein handelscentrum en als haven voor Ayutthaya, dat de hoofdstad was tot het in 1767 door Birma ingenomen en verwoest werd. Bij Thonburi, aan de overkant van de rivier bij Bangkok, werd een tijdelijke hoofdstad gevestigd. In 1782 liet Koning Rama I bij de rivier een paleis bouwen op het eiland Rattanakosin. Hij maakte Bangkok tot hoofdstad, en veranderde de naam in Krung Thep. In het westen wordt echter nog altijd de oude naam van de stad gebruikt.

July's Buck Moon illuminates smoke clouds over the Los Angeles skyline. Multiple fires, including the Hawarden Fire, Eagle Fire, Fork Fire, and Vista Fire rages, forcing evacuations and destroying homes across Southern California. This comes as the monsoon season brings dry lightning, strong wind gusts, and sparks dangerous wildfires.
. Last week we finally received a proper monsoon downpour in Prescott AZ. I spent the afternoon at Watson Lake last taking pictures between down pours. I took this on the way out.

While sheltering from the sudden downpour, I spotted this family of four navigating the rainy night streets on their scooter, and I couldn't help but smile at the beautiful absurdity of their situation. What captivated me was the brilliant red cape enveloping them all—with only the driver able to see where they were going, while the rest of the family was completely hidden underneath, trusting blindly in their journey. This moment perfectly encapsulated the improvisational spirit I've come to admire in everyday Vietnamese life. I wanted to frame them against the warm glow of the restaurant, creating a contrast between those weathering the elements and those sheltering from them. The rain-slicked streets reflecting the lights added that cinematic quality I was hoping for. To me, this image represents far more than just a family commute—it's about blind trust, familial bonds, and the extraordinary ingenuity of ordinary people facing everyday challenges. There's something both humorous and deeply moving about this common sight that tourists might miss but that reveals the true character of urban life here.

A massive complex of thunderstorms rolled into Phoenix from the east on August 11, 2015. Typically, monsoon thunderstorms are fairly isolated and short lived. I didn't even want to go chasing that night, since only one tiny storm was on radar, and it was 60 miles from my house. Glad I did! This lonely cell turned into a powerful line of severe-warned monsters over the Superstition Mountains in Tonto National Forest and put on one hell of a show that lasted for hours!
The only major suck factor was the temperature. It was north of 113 degrees that day and didn't cool down much by the time the storms started. You can see I was shooting at ISO 400 but the sensor was so hot, all my images had much more noise than usual.
Fiddling with effects on a gray afternoon after work when we are all fed and relaxing...I guess this is what is called the monsoon season around here, when piles of clouds zoom by and spit a few drops of rain on the plants, teasing everyone with unfulfilled promises of downpours.
