10/22/2004 After taking several days off of doing NOTHING which was everything I dreamed it would be, I’m back on the hunt!!! Currently I’m somewhere in southern Minnesota storm chasing and relaxing, cranking some old school Metallica Garage Days… Its a good thing I had several days to rest up and focus on other stuff because today is going to be a long day. I was already out this morning playing Weather Channel Photographer in the fog around Minneapolis. I did get some sweet footage after my morning shoot downtown and did a bunch of footage of planes in the fog at Minneapolis International Airport.
Taking needed time off.
10/14/2004, Taking some much needed and doctor ordered time off to relax and work on some personal projects, not work.
With all the running around it caught up to me yesterday during the morning. So for the next few days, I’m going to be relaxing and kicking back on the couch and doing nothing… per doctors orders.
Of course, with my luck, it will probably start snowing on Friday in Minneapolis… But, I’m now going to be limiting my schedule now to create more free time for me. What I’m I going to do with time off? Knowing how I’m a workaholic, I’ll probably kick back on the couch and update this webpage finally…
10/13/2004 Out playing Weather Channel Photographer today
10/13/2004, Out playing Weather Channel Photographer again today. Rain in the morning, Just freaking cold in the evening in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
10/10/2004 Relaxing and taking more time off to just do nothing.
Relaxing and taking more time off to just do nothing. Well I did do something but not something that had me traveling all over the country. I went to the river and took some fun photography of some fall colors.
Now I’m starting work on Monday of the Hurricane Frances and Jeanne video. This video is going to be just as sweet as our Hurricane Charley video.
10/6/2004 Blog update – Working at home trying to get caught up.
10/06/2004 I’m home working on all the stock video requests for the hurricane footage.
Also, I’m now working on the next home video project. This is different from the Hurricane Charley video. Charley is a personal documentary that brings the viewer into the storm as a member of the chase team.
My new project, Septembers Fury or Four Hurricanes In Forty Five Days will have video from Hurricane Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne as well as some bonus storm chasing footage for those who just want to see some of the raw crazy video that I shoot I’m also working on the new webpage layout. Finally going to get it cleaned up.
10/4/2004 Blog update, working to hard today.
10/04/2004 It’s 4:30 am in the morning, the temp in my Jeep says its 38F outside and I just got done shooting my first video package of the morning for The Weather Channel.
Yes playing cold weather Videographer this morning and to think that just 8 days ago I was just finishing up my Hurricane Jeanne video shoot in Fort Pierce Florida and it was in the 80s there.
Nothing like a 50 degree temp change to wake you up. Well, at least when it gets cold and nasty here, we still have power, food, gas, water (if the pipes don’t freeze) and all the other comforts of home inside when its cold outside. Ok, time to get back to work…
10/2/2004 blog update – Still trying to get caught up.
10/02/2004 Working at home today trying to get stuff caught up and shooting some more cold weather and fall colors video for The Weather Channel today. The sun was nice and warm when you were in it but it was cold out.
10/1/2004 Trying to catch up with tons of work.
I’m really backed up on getting all the stock video footage out to clients and I had a full day of video shooting for The Weather Channel. Work started at 4:45 AM then 8:00 AM and another at 2:00 PM for the shoots of the weather going from bad to just crappy cold rain.
Only thing left to do now is snow… Yes, I put in a 12 hours video shoot shift and trying to get stuff caught up after all the hurricane chases, I’m getting a little burned out. I need a vacation from my workaholicism self…
9/30/2004 Home sweet home.
Home in Minneapolis, MN and shooting video for The Weather Channel this afternoon of some nice warm weather. Looks like the last warm weather we will have for a while.
9/26/2004 Hurricane Jeanne Video Update
In Orlando Florida Tonight. I had a VERY Successful Chase and was in Fort Pierce Beach Florida, The Same Place For Hurricane Frances.
I shot a lot of great footage for our Hurricane Jeanne Video collection. I posted the video the was on The Weather Channel this morning but due to lack of sleep, I’ll post the Hurricane Jeanne Photographs when I wake up.
Here is a short video from my Hurricane Jeanne chase.
