Girls Who Chase: Stories of Women in Weather & Storm Chasing Girls Who Chase

Episode Notes
Sarah Alsayegh refers to herself as “the first Kuwaiti-Arab storm chaser.” She is from Kuwait, and first started taking pictures when she was young, when her journalist father gave her her first camera. After finishing college, she started to take photography seriously and would take her camera out and capture anything she saw in the cityscape. Then she discovered landscape photography, and has since traveled to the United Kingdom, Iceland, and the U.S. to learn from the best. Storm chasing wasn’t on Sarah’s radar, pun intended, until she saw an image of a haboob taken by a female photographer in 2010 - and then she was hooked. In 2011, she captured her own images of a haboob that hit Kuwait and the Arabian peninsula, and since then has dedicated her energy to learning to chase and take pictures of storms. She travels to the U.S. every year to participate in photography workshops on the plains, and to get her storm fix.
