Crazy weather photographer
I think this would be so much fun to be when I grow up! Chasing crazy weather with a camera at hand! How many people here would do it?
Cat. 5 hurricane?? Pfft NO PROBLEM!!! :D |

| If it paid the bills well enough, I'd drop my job and run.. Provided they were buying equipment.. |

| Even if I had just a simple point and shoot for the job! I think it would be worth the rush to live day by day with money for a few years. Think about it... This would not only include hurricanes in Florida but also tornadoes in Kansas or sand storms in the middle east. Wow! This makes me wanna do it so badly!!! |

That's because Canon gear would survive! I'll have to post some photos I've taken while working. Crappy weather? No that is football weather!

You don't need to leave home sometimes the storms come to you!

It was really cool to watch, we were never in any kind of danger but if it would have started coming our way we may have needed clean shorts! |

Wow... That is intense!
And like I said before this is not just your everyday bad weather like you see here in the states, I am also talking about this.
Sandstorms have always fascinated me too. |

I saw a sand storm like that when I was 16, it was hilarious, I was driving with my parents as passengers through Nevada in my Mom's 67 Chrysler Crown Imperial which my Mom really loved. This cloud of sand came out of nowhere and enveloped the car, my Mom was yelling at me to get her car out of the storm like I had somewhere to hide, the sand just blasted the heck out of the car and somehow it was my fault, naturally now it is one of those funny stories.. |

Yeah, windshields don't last more than about 7 years out here before they're pretty badly pitted |
