3/1/2018: Chasers/Royals 50th Anniversary

Chasers/Royals 50th Anniversary

I'm excited to share this photo with everyone.  For the past few months, I have been working on a special photo for the Omaha Storm Chasers celebrating their 50th Season in Omaha.  This is a composite photo I made from two different photos.  It starts with a photo I took on July 4th 2008 at Rosenblatt Stadium and transitions in to a photo I took 4/16/2011 at Werner Park.  Currently the Chasers are handing out this photo to some of their Premier Partners, but it will be available in the Storm Front Team Store at Werner Park this season.

Its been privilege working with the Omaha Royals and Storm Chasers for the past decade.  I have experienced a lot of great opportunities during that time and this photo is right up there with the best of them.  I look forward to what the next decade holds.
