It was a late summer storm, and I had decided to venture out to the local bay to check what was brewing. I never in a million years imagined that I would be able to feel what it is like to catch a lightning bolt for the very first time. It wasn't until much later, when I had gone through all the images that some fantastic shots were able to be captured. This shot stands out from the others because I could capture an incredible moment. Still, I also made it out of the situation unscathed without damaging my equipment.

I'm delighted with how well this photograph turned out, considering all the obstacles I faced while photographing a double-bolt strike.

This is a bolt from the blue!

Greta Mash-up #026

As my family entered 2020, we were preparing for the arrival of our first baby. The first couple of months came and went as we waited to meet him. Then, March came and with it COVID came to America. We welcomed our son to the world in June of 2020, in the midst of a global pandemic. The world worked to flatten the curve, but people kept getting sick. World-wide supply lines came to a screeching halt and basic staples like toilet paper became scarce. My wife captured this image at a Target in Fort Worth, Texas on September 2, 2020, when our son was just over 2 months old. His life will be very different from ours; not because of advances in technology, but instead because the fear of the next global pandemic will never subside. To my family, this image represents pain, fear, restlessness, anxiety, and - most of all - hope. While the world suffered and lost many souls, we survived and we will thrive, whatever may come.
