Finally got this page assembled -- these are my favorite 25 photos that I shot covering the tornado researchers of "Project Vortex 2" (external link) -- a two year, $12,000,000 NSF and NOAA funded mission to study the origins of tornadoes. 30,000 miles and 20,000 shutter clicks later, and these are my personal faves.

I can post them here if you guys would rather look at them here than the blog, but the layout there is much better suited for so many pics. :)

Absolutely amazing work! You've got some real talent with that type of shooting; that panorama you stitched together is amazing. Thanks for sharing with us!

Fantastic! I love the commentary as well as the photo's. The 'brown pants factor' made me choke on a peanut, lol!

Fantastic images, well done ! I love watching 'Stormchasers' on Discovery, and can appreciate the dangers and the hard work involved.

Love the commentary and the beautiful shots! I guess if you get hit by one of these things, and your home is demolished, you don't think "beautiful"...but indeed the storm clouds are magnificent! Amazing work!
