Wyvern's Waltz

Introduction

In the realm of storm chasing, there lies a world of untamed beauty, where the forces of nature converge in a mesmerizing dance of power and grace. For me, storm chasing is not merely a pursuit of art but a calling—an opportunity to unveil the hidden marvels that exist all around us. As a passionate photographer, I embarked on a journey to capture the essence of the Monsoon in my beloved home state of Sinaloa, Mexico. Little did I know that this quest would lead me to encounter a spectacle that transcended time itself—a moment that I now share with you as Wyvern's Waltz: A Dance of Storm and Lightning.

The Calling of the Monsoon

The idea of storm chasing had always fascinated me. The allure of capturing the raw power of thunderous storms and electric displays filled me with excitement. Last year, I dabbled in storm chasing, drawn by the beauty of storm photographs and the challenge they presented. But this year, something called me back to the heart of the Monsoon, to Sinaloa and Sonora, where the perfect conditions brew the most potent storms known to man.

The Quest for Truth and Purpose

As I prepared to document the Monsoon, I uncovered a deeper purpose to my artistry. Conversations with weather experts revealed the stark reality—a lack of weather stations in our region that hindered the collection of vital data for accurate forecasts. I realized that my art could be a catalyst for change, a means to support the establishment of better meteorological coverage in my homeland, potentially saving lives in the future. This became my mission, my legacy—to use my passion for storm chasing to drive attention, raise funds, and support the cause of weather safety in Sinaloa.

Encountering the Wyvern

Amidst the tumultuous journey, I found myself face to face with a moment of pure enchantment. On July 20th, 2023, the Monsoon bestowed upon me a gift of otherworldly splendor—a bolt of lightning that bore the form of a legendary wyvern, straight out of medieval tales. Graceful and majestic, it soared through the darkened skies, trailing sparks of electricity as it danced its celestial waltz. In that breathtaking moment, I witnessed the harmonious marriage of raw power and ethereal beauty—a convergence of the elements and the magical creatures that once captivated the minds of ancient storytellers.
