ABOUT THIS PROJECT
To create compelling scientific images and video of extreme weather landscapes and possible serve as material for a photo book ( money pledged to project will only assit in the 2012 Tornado Season )

The Basics
Our work is focused on Earths extreme weather. We have documented the changing of the seasons for over 4 years, our bodies of work can be viewed in Lightning Fast Media and Stan Kruslicky archives. This project is focused on the extreme weather that is between the vast landscapes of the coastal USA and other remote areas in the Midwest.We will scientifically document all storms while we are on the road to continue to provide valuable information by including and not limited to: photographing, filming, streaming, reports.

In 2011 we left Florida for our first trip in to the Great Plains of the USA. By 2012 we have grown to a massive crew of 5 different teams.
From May 1st to 16th. we will be embarking again to the Midwest to chase the storms. We will stay in the field for 16 days to photographing and filming the weather. Our main target states are Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Colorado, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, South Dakota

How Your Money Will Be Used
This project involves 2 weeks of working in the field. Departure to the work area occurs on May 1, 2012. Once at the work area, the distances covered on a daily basis can be over 300 miles, often on rugged terrain. With the current rising fuel prices a large portion of the operating budget is allocated for fuel, followed closely by image-making supplies, food, and shelter. This project has been set at the bare minium required to get the wheels rolling. The actual duration of time spent in the field and the project's ultimate success is based directly on the level of support provided by individuals like you. The more support provided above the minium goal means more can be accomplished.

Last year we fully funded the trip out of our own pockets. This year, with your help we can scientifically document 2012's Tornado Season.
