My lifelong quest is to find the world's most extreme weather. As a full-time, passionate purveyor of extreme atmospheric images, my journeys have been fraught with moments of awe, terror and even occasional humor. From lightning jolts, rattlesnakes, baseball-sized hail, swarming spiders, twin twisters and irate farmers armed with rusty pitchforks, I've survived, or so I have been told, by shear luck and a knack of getting out of trouble at the last moment. Some say I have a guardian angel. Either way... I live by the quote, "Luck is the residue of design."
To read more about my adventures please see my biography and inks below.
Important Editorial Message:
RE: Bad Chasing Behavior on Television. My office has received multiple complaints about "irresponsible" and "unnecessarily dangerous," antics of chasers seen on television shows. Please note that I am NOT involved in any of these recent productions. I turn down any appearance offers I feel may distort the reality of storm chasing and chasers, or pit chasers against one another in a competitive manner. As a full-time, professional chaser (as opposed to part-timers chasing a few storms in the spring), I value my credibility and the creditability of all individuals who pursue severe weather in a responsible manner.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Warren and key sponsor Canada Goose announces new monsoon Adventure Tour.
Beginning in the sumer of 2009 Warren will host the first ever, Monsoon, Photo-Safari. The unique adventure will be based out of Tucson, Arizona, the "Lightning photography capital of the world." From the adventure homepage:
"Warren will be your host for the five days in Arizona, and while the evenings will be saved for monsoons, days include visits to Biosphere, the Sonora Desert, cultural stops and allowing you some personal time to shop, play golf or take a treatment at the wonderful Loews Ventana Canyon Resort."
Warren says the philosophy of this opportunity is two fold. The adventure is about the changing ecology of the desert and the photography of the Southwest's stunning atmosphere. Its also a great hands-on experience for photographers. The entire package is geared for comfort and having a great time here in Tucson, and even if you're not a photographer, you will still be witnessing amazing desert monsoon events."
Book soon, this group is limited to 12 people at the very most. Dates for 2009 are July 22 to July 28. Bookings handled by The Travel Network and Network Tours. See complete information and to book dates here.

World's most extensive and dramatic collection of weather, storm and related images for sale.
Warren Faidley has recently announced that the entire Weatherstock® Collection of still images are for sale, or lease.
Faidley, the founder and CEO of Weatherstock®, says the sale of stock
agencies is nothing new, but what makes this sale especially interesting is that all the images are his and they come with the package. With most agency sales, a buyer or investor
is only getting a 'shell' with most images belonging to others, requiring a loss of profits due to commissions. With this collection, a new buyer gets the rights to the world's most impressive collection of weather and related pictures -- with a 100 percent profit margin. The collection can generate substantial income forever, especially if the client utilizes active marketing.
The fact that most of my stills were
shot on film is also a big bonus as many high-end clients want "film stills" not digital (a growing trend with high-end clients). This a very rare deal for a large
corporation or an investor."
