Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸 It’s pretty cool to see this crane flying a large American flag over the under-construction Veteran’s Memorial Bridge in Mankato!

It's been two years since the "partial failure" of the Rapidan Dam. Here's what it looks like now - little has changed in the last 12 months.

Captured June 21, 2026.

Veteran's Memorial Bridge construction is well underway between Mankato & North Mankato, with several hundred feet of the bridge deck removed before replacement.

Captured 4/15/26.

After a lot of work behind the scenes, I've decided to take AW Aerial in a new direction.

I’m transitioning away from traditional drone photography and expanding into artificial intelligence. Introducing AI Aerial.

More to come soon 👀

One year ago today: a massive shelf cloud rolling over Ardent Mills’ painted silos in Mankato.

I remember rushing to get my drone down immediately after this shot was taken as the gusts were really picking up!

Rapidan Dam, one year after the breach.

This 46-photo panorama gives the illusion of being taken from 1800+ feet above the ground. Captured yesterday, June 23, 2025.

Looking Back: One year ago today, I visited Rapidan Dam and other locations in Southern Minnesota to capture flooding as it took place. Little did I know, just seven hours after this footage was captured, the dam would partially fail.

Here's a never-before-seen uneditied clip of the dam in the final hours before the breach.

While tracking this tornado-warned storm for quite some time this evening, the sky started to light up with incredible hues of red and purple!
