"My name is Shane Ornelas. I am a proud born and raised North Dakota photographer. I grew up in southwest NoDak, west of the river, and currently reside in Bismarck. I have a degree from North Dakota State University in Exercise Science and currently work in healthcare, but my heart lies in the arts.
I have been obsessed with the sky ever since witnessing my first supercell at an early age. I remember watching these giants come through Stark county as a child with my dad during the summer months. We would both watch the sky light up with powerful bolts of lightning striking and illuminating the North Dakota landscape. Clouds would swirl around like someone was churning them from above. Chunks of ice would smash the car hood breaking apart with a loud bang! I was hooked. The obsession only grew with age, and I started chasing storms in late 2006. Life would put a hold on the hobby for a couple years as I completed my education, but by the time I finished my degree the “itch had returned”. Every year from the months of April through August I travel all over traditional tornado alley to capture and document these giants of the sky. I prefer to chase in NoDak but that isn't always an option. I always tell people I am a storm chaser first and photographer second. I have also taken to photographing the night sky here in this great state including the beautiful Aurora Borealis, the 2024 total solar eclipse, and the Milky Way. It helps pass the time until storm season. You can view my work including my storm chasing videos on my youtube site. youtube.com/shanehappens or visit my website at www.shanehappensphoto.com."
