2006
2006 was exciting
because I got to chase with Tim Marshall, one of the legends of storm
chasing and a great guy. Unfortunately it was also a dud of a tornado
season. We scoured the plains doing the best we could, chasing marginal
setup after marginal setup and we did get a couple of good storms, but
in general this was the season of taking scenery shots rather than storm
footage. Interestingly, a lot of my friends like my photo album from
this year more than any other because it's got a lot of the best shots
I've taken showing the true beauty of the Great Plains.
