Girls Who Chase: Stories of Women in Weather & Storm Chasing
Episode Notes Sarah Alsayegh refers to herself as “the first Kuwaiti-Arab storm chaser.” She is from Kuwait, and first started taking pictures when she was young, when her journalist father gave her her first camera. After finishing college, she started to take photography seriously and would take her camera out and capture anything she saw in the cityscape. Then she discovered landscape photography, and has since traveled to the United Kingdom, Iceland, and the U.S. to learn from the best. Storm chasing wasn't on Sarah's radar, pun intended, until she saw an image of a haboob taken by a female photographer in 2010 - and then she was hooked. In 2011, she captured her own images of a haboob that hit Kuwait and the Arabian peninsula, and since then has dedicated her energy to learning to chase and take pictures of storms. She travels to the U.S. every year to participate in photography workshops on the plains, and to get her storm fix.

In the midst of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, storm chasers are trying to keep themselves safe from both the weather and the virus. Chasers and storm spotters provide essential on-the-ground, eyewitness reports of severe weather. With more people staying at home, what will the weather enterprise look like with less reporting? Storm chasers, including Live Storm Media's Brett Adair, photographer Mike Olbinski, and storm surveyor Tim Marshall, join us to explain how their lifestyle on the road has changed amid the pandemic, including less eating out and more nights sleeping in the car. They also discuss their decision making into when and how to chase; to keep themselves safe from both the weather and the virus. We're also joined by Kevin Smith from the the National Weather Service who receives and analyzes storm reports from chasers and spotters. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/carolinaweather/message
Mike is a Phoenix and Scottsdale-based, self-described “storm chasing wedding photographer.” His work has been seen around the world in commercials, documentaries, magazines, movies, sports, television shows, websites, etc., and he’s even received a coveted Emmy Award. Specializing in time-lapse storm footage and fine art work, Mike grew up obsessing over storms. He focused on building his photography portfolio while holding down a full-time job. Eventually some of his work went viral and he was able to transform his photography business into a full-time career. He was able to see that more income streams were possible for photographers than what was considered the traditional norm. However, since storm chasing is a seasonally dependent gig, Mike still offers wedding photography services during the “off-season.” His intense fascination with storms ignited the fire within him that fueled his life’s passion, which ultimately led to his dream job. If there is something you’re passionate about, look into multiple and varied ways to pursue it. Mike’s enthusiasm about storm chasing is a great example that is sure to inspire you in your own field. He also discusses what he considers to be best practices for dealing with copyright issues.
We run away. Mike runs toward. Internationally acclaimed Filmmaker and photographer. Storm chaser. Emmy winner. Published author. Husband and father of three. For Mike, a passion turned into a life-changing career with Mother Nature. We talk storms, we talk philosophy, we talk life and more. From what mother nature has taught Mike about life, to how it can change people, to the beauty of difference in every single storm he chases. Aligning with the philosophy of the heroes journey is a quote from Vincent van Gogh, “There is peace even in the storm...” Mikes Instagram Mikes YouTube

We've got something special in store for this milestone: our first guest host! From the get go, our goal has been to introduce guests because... guests are cool and cool guests are even cooler. But unlike many other shows that make the episode about the guest, our goal is to bring on guests who become part of the show. So with that, we're thrilled to introduce wedding photographer and the Storm Whisperer himself, Mike Olbinski, to join us for this episode! Fortunately, Adobe made some seriously big announcements with their Lightroom road map last week that provided more than enough fodder for our trio to discuss. Finally, each of our hosts share some pivotal moments from their lives that fundamentally changed their professional directions and led them to become full time, working photographers. All that plus a triple dose of "What's On Your Gear Shelf?" make up Episode 10! Show Notes • Brian and Sharky are thrilled to announce the show's very first guest host, Mike Olbinski. Aside from being a helluva wedding photographer, Mike is also one of the best storm chasers out there and has created some of the most visually stunning time lapse videos that your eyes have ever seen. Seriously, clean your floor because your jaws are about to be hitting them pretty hard. [Vimeo] • Now that you've had a chance to lift your jaws back up and wipe the mess you made on the ground, we can move onto the lil' bit of news coming out of Adobe's camp. In addition to a slew of major updates to their Creative Cloud ecosystem, the company announced a "new" version of Lightroom dubbed "Lightroom CC" with the existing implementation renamed with the lovely moniker, "Lightroom Classic." As you can imagine, this caused a lot of confusion and even more ire with the legion of photographers hoping for a more substantial update.

Connect with Brian Matiash and Sharky James on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook (all @NoNamePhotoShow). Did we mention SUBSCRIBE?!!! Please? ;) Alas, double digits and it feels so good! We've got something special in store for this milestone: our first guest host! From the get go, our goal has been to introduce guests because... guests are cool and cool guests are even cooler. But unlike many other shows that make the episode about the guest, our goal is to bring on guests who become part of the show. So with that, we're thrilled to introduce wedding photographer and the Storm Whisperer himself, Mike Olbinski, to join us for this episode! Fortunately, Adobe made some seriously big announcements with their Lightroom road map last week that provided more than enough fodder for our trio to discuss. Finally, each of our hosts share some pivotal moments from their lives that fundamentally changed their professional directions and led them to become full time, working photographers. All that plus a triple dose of "What's On Your Gear Shelf?" make up Episode 10! Show Notes • Brian and Sharky are thrilled to announce the show's very first guest host, Mike Olbinski. Aside from being a helluva wedding photographer, Mike is also one of the best storm chasers out there and has created some of the most visually stunning time lapse videos that your eyes have ever seen. Seriously, clean your floor because your jaws are about to be hitting them pretty hard.
