And here's some more because I love the colors. I hadn't ever been to Ohiopyle before

There was plenty of stuff to see and plenty I wasn't able to see. I definitely need to go back sometime, especially during a healthy foliage season

My day trip to Ohiopyle State Park in southwest PA this week might be my best photography day all year. Though the foliage was thinned out, there were still some spectacular yellow colors, especially hiking up and down the creek hollows.

The problem with the "burning your hand on the stove" analogy is that we have a few people holding everyone else's hands on the stove and burning them so that they don't feel the pain and learn not to do it again

The first few edits from my day trip to Ohiopyle State Park in southwest Pennsylvania this week. Despite the drought-stricken foliage, the colors still turned out fantastic in some areas. I shot tons and tons of stuff and there's a lot more to get through

Personally I can't wait to hear more from whatever 20-something, attention starved, chronic wannabe edgelord, COD-lobby-screamer, socially inexperienced, sociopathic, sorry excuse for an internet ragebaiter they put in charge of these accounts

I like how the use of AI-generated images is a thematic parallel to the MAGA movement because it's a fake image he created himself that he's referring to as reality and he didn't look closely enough to notice glaring details like how Pritzker's arm becomes Hochul's arm

I'd love to put out some video projects related to my book, Tornado Country. I'm just not really sure how - I think the best option would be short readings from throughout with some music and sound, but I don't know how much viewership that would attract for the effort it would take.

October 10 last year from Lake Erie, Pennsylvania - the G4 aurora, one of the most amazing things I've ever seen to top off a year of some of the most amazing things I've ever seen

One year ago tonight was the strawberry aurora, seen here from western PA with two meteors. 2024 was wild

FALL IN PENNSYLVANIA will either be posted on YouTube tonight or tomorrow night. This is my latest cinematic scenery short film featuring new original music, filmed around the mountains of central PA in 2023. I'm really excited to share this one so stay tuned

A year ago today I watched the sun rise from Bear Rocks, West Virginia and it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. It took me back to being a kid flipping through books about weather and Earth and looking at the pictures wondering if I could ever see things like that.

A year ago tonight I was camping in the car at Bear Rocks after having an amazing day running around Blackwater Falls, Canaan Valley, and Seneca Rocks in WV, unable to check radar but seeing central Appalachia lit up with flood warnings as the wind and mist whipped around outside

Guitar is probably the hardest virtual instrument for me to work with because I didn't learn how to play or read music traditionally, the human touch greatly expands the possibilities, and I have a harder time coming up with melodies I think don't sound strange. I'm liking this project score though

This comes to me a few minutes after I saw a video of an Oklahoma teacher showing the bible he received for his classroom which contained the pledge of allegiance, a letter from Lee Greenwood, and a version of the constitution missing half of its amendments

It looks like my next video project will be FALL IN PENNSYLVANIA, a cinematic scenery film I've had sitting incomplete since I shot these scenes two years ago. I'm figuring out the chill, ambient sound I want for the music so we'll see how it goes
