Three photos I made of the Aurora Borealis last night near Wickenburg, Arizona. It wasn’t quite as bright to the naked eye, but it was by far the brightest and most vibrant I’ve seen here in AZ.
This is my dog Gidget. Her 5 favorite things:
1. Family time
2. Food (of the human variety)
3. Chewing
4. Barking
5. Laying on pillows

Climate Change through the Lens of Increasing Hydroclimate Whiplash
The past decade has brought episodes of exceptional and even historically unprecedented warmth, both in California and around the world.

Moonrise over the Sonoran Desert two nights ago. This is a favorite Saguaro of mine and I fear that the land it occupies will soon fall victim to the cancerous growth of the Phoenix suburbs.

Breathing new life into old photos. From the summer of 2014 when I was obsessed with epic sunsets and wide angle lenses.

Hate, deceit, and violence seem to rearing their ugly faces more than ever. The world needs our art more than ever.

This crested caracara distracted me from my storm chasing mission last week as it stood atop this saguaro scanning the desert floor for prey.

I can’t even believe I got this photo. I wasn’t supposed to chase that day. I ran out to the edge of the desert at the last minute. I happened across this scene, but this cell wasn’t producing much lightning. Still, I set up the cameras & waited. Finally, it let loose this beastly double bolt. #azwx

This is the most unique angle I got of Monday’s haboob, taken from Highway 347 near Maricopa, Arizona.

Monday’s ominous haboob rolling through Casa Grande, Arizona. Photos do not do justice to how massive it was, but I try.
