The type I would fit in I'll call "photojournalist chaser". Some of us make images, and more images, and more images Each one is different. A photojournalist chaser's goal is to preserve storms on film, hoping for the truly rare...chasing the things that elude us, for years, but do finally come.
It is not necessary to string or work for a station to be a "photojournalist chaser" but we strive to be published all over the place. Why? One reason is that there could be another angle to the photojournalism...in my case a shameless plug for wilderness, special lands and places. I hope my pictures bring attention to wild areas, particularly the fragile deserts and parks, so that they may be appreciated, fussed over and preserved (one can hope). Upon learning what actually goes on in a desert, a lot of people are blown away by it.
I think there are a lot of us who, like wildlife photogs, chase storms for photojournalism, attempting to put a storm + a natural wonder in front of people. Photographing wolves brings appreciation for wolves. Photojournalism of storms in the wilderness brings attention to wild places, and they need luv too.
