To storm chase or not to storm chase, that is the question...

Doug Kiesling, The Weather Paparazzi

Welcome to the home page of Douglas "Lightningboy" Kiesling, The Weather Paparazzi. This is my personal blog and photo gallery page.

I'm am a freelance videographer for CNN, ABC News, The Weather Channel, Associated Press TV News, National Geographic Channel, and various other television networks around the world. I am also the founder of BNVN or Breaking News Video Network, Inc.

For some of you, now your asking, "what the heck happened to Lightningboy.com?" While some of you are also asking what happened to all of the video that was on WeatherPaparazzi.com?

Answer: I organized everything. All of my video is now hosted on www.BNVN.com and Lightningboy.com and WeatherPaparazzi.com is now merged together into my personal blog page. Any video here is just to tell a story about what I do for a living.

All video sales are now through BNVN.com or my agents at the Conus Archive. So if your looking for the video catalogs that were here, you need to visit http://www.bnvn.com

Ok, I'm still at home sick and going to get checked out on Monday to make sure this is nothing worse like walking pneumonia.  All I know is it sure feels like the last time I had it walking pneumonia and my lungs are taking a beating from the coughing. 

Tonight I'm just working from home and wrapping up the footage that came in from the deadly storms that hit the southern states.
