It's funny how every year is different. That's the beauty of chasing the summer storm season out here in the desert southwest. This year I ventured far and wide. Phoenix never saw a good dust storm all summer, but I still was able to capture a few good ones in southwest portions of the state. The cover photo for this film was halfway to Yuma standing in the middle of Interstate 8 watching an ominous wall of dust roll down the highway towards me with lightning flashing behind it. It was an incredible moment. I loved what I saw this year. It felt so unique. I found myself submerged in cacti and desert flora a few times with stunning light and structure. Explored places in New Mexico I hadn't seen before. Smiled at the gasps of amazement from the crowds at the Canyon when a lightning bolt would strike. Finally discovered that the Santa Rosa area is a hotbed for supercell activity. I shot over 110,000 frames of time-lapse and likely only half of it ended up in the final cut. The music is all custom, thanks to the amazing work of Peter Nanasi. I love how we work together to develop a track that seems to fit exactly with the clips I capture. Incredibly blessed that his work crossed my path. See less
