STORMS
Over the last several years I’ve photographed storms in the area known as Tornado Alley—from the Rio Grande in southern Texas, north to the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, east of the Rockies and west of the Mississippi river. In late spring, the solitude of the prairies is broken by atmospheric instability colliding with moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. Immense cumulonimbus clouds percolate miles above the ground, rotating with energy until tornadoes spin above a landscape of haunting beauty.
A book of my photographs of storms, FIERCE BEAUTY: Storms of the Great Plains, was published by The IMAGES Publishing Group and it was chosen by Smithsonian magazine as one of its "Top 10 Travel Books of 2019."
