un·daunt·ed : 
Not intimidated or discouraged by difficulty, danger, or disappointment.

In all my years pursuing extreme weather, the difficulty in capturing extraordinary images isn't necessarily left to the inherent risk factors of storm chasing.  Avoiding injury or death from lightning, tornados, flooding, these are all known risks to the extreme weather photographer. But professionals understand how to at least mitigate risk by accurate forecasting, and trying to stay one step ahead of the storm.   The difference between those who excel and those who quit is determination.  For every disappointment, for every mile driven, for every time a camera is destroyed from high winds, there is an extreme weather photographer who persists.   They are undaunted in their pursuit for the extraordinary.

Undaunted by Lori Grace Bailey

On August 15, 2020 an incredibly powerful monsoon thunderstorm approached the small border community of Nogales, Arizona.  I was able to approach this storm via this rough mountainous dirt road, giving me less than five minutes to capture these surreal skies as the sunlight shone under the cloud deck.  Within seconds of leaving the blast of heavy rain began to overtake me, but thankfully I made it back to the highway without getting engulfed by nature's fury.
