Rockets, Race Cars, Cameras, and Extreme Weather | Scott Schilke

Scott Schilke is a photographer who specializes in capturing breathtaking images of rocket ships, race cars, and extreme weather events.At the youthful age of sixty-two, after having worked in property management for four decades, Scott spurned retirement and embarked upon a new career. When all his buddies were slipping into the long-deferred idleness of their “golden years”, Scott became a professional photographer. Now, he spends his days (and most of his nights!) photographing rocket launches, NASCAR races, and high-voltage lightning storms. The fearlessness with which he set out upon this new journey, and the assiduity with which he’s continued to pursue it, are totally inspiring. I listen to Scott, and am convinced that there’s nothing I can’t do. In this episode, Scott and I discuss…The influence of his father, who was an officer in the Air Force; His passion for rocket ships; SpaceX, Tesla, and Elon Musk; NASA; NASCAR; Photography; Climate change; Electric Vehicles; Extreme weather; Hurricanes in Florida; Super Cells; Tornados; Having dreams and aspirations; Starting a new career; How to develop a passion project; Learning new skills throughout one’s life; How to chase your goals; and MUCH more! Links to Scott’s pages: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scot....t_schilke_photograph https://www.facebook.com/scott.schilke.1/Twitter: https://twitter.com/SchilkeSco....tt?ref_src=twsrc%5Eg you need an awe-inspiring photograph for your screen-saver, look no further than Scott’s mighty Instagram page!) ***Links to my pages: Links to my stuff: Check out my Instagram page for shorts from this and prior episodes: @danielethanfinneran https://www.instagram.com/dani....elethanfinneran/Twit @DanielEFinneranWebsite: finneranswake.comEmail me at finneranswake@gmail.comMy sister project, PNEUMA, on which I put out sleep stories, meditations, mindfulness content: Youtube @pneumabydanielfinneran  Pneumameditations.comBe sure to subscribe to this channel if you enjoy these conversations and share them with family and friends!
