It was a last minute invitation to a private party that landed me in the home of Pierre Matisse, the 90 year old grandson of French Master, Henri Matisse. A statement of admiration regarding his work led to a conversation on photography and the discovery that Matisse had been a professional photographer for over 40 years. I received an invitation back to his home the next day and after another amazing exchange of ideas I was invited to study with him. We are now on the final edit of a collaborative book with my long time friend and mentor - 45 year New York City photographer John Olivo. Stay tuned for more announcements about the opening release!
Welcome to The Scud Buster Diaries !
I've had a passion for inclement weather since I was a commercial fisherman on Long Island's Great South Bay. In those days weather awareness was a matter of reading the sky so that we could stay out on the water longer to improve our harvest before having to take shelter. Florida's potential for severe weather is amazing and, wanting to become more proficient at photographing storms, I became a certified Skywarn weather spotter with the National Weather Service in April of 2015. After learning that all of Flagler County is in a "gap" of radar coverage between Jacksonville and Melbourne Doppler installations, I formed The Scud Buster Diaries storm chasing group. Photographer Monique Sirios Futch and Attorney-Photographer Scott W. Spradley and I pooled four years of storm chasing photographs and then approached the Flagler County Emergency Operations Center and Jacksonville National Weather Service telling them of our plan to "storm chase for public safety". Our efforts received an endorsement from both leading to the formation of two Facebook Messenger groups - The Scud Buster Diaries Chat comprised of myself, Monique, Scott, Bob Pickering with the Flagler EOC, NWX-JAX Meteorologist Ben Nelson, and FCTV Program Director/Cameraman Carlos Hernandez and The Northeast Florida Weather Spotters, consisting of 40 Skywarn certified Florida storm spotters and chasers. Every system that comes towards Flagler County is monitored by the two groups and then photographs and video footage are provided directly to the EOC and NWS to aid in the issuing of severe weather alerts that come to us "under the radar".

Ed Siarkowicz Photographs on Display at the:
Five years ago I was asked by the State of Florida to participate in a rising sea level study they were spearheading through the University of Florida in Gainesville. The area of study was the Matanzas Basin which is bordered by the Matanzas Inlet, Marineland, River to Sea Preserve and Princess Place Preserve. After supplying restrospective photographs from 4 years earlier, I photographed the same locations within the basin documenting incidents of erosion and damage. The study is now on display in a photographic diorama at the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville. If you're in the area stop in and take a look at the display and the photographs I contributed to the study.

The Scud Buster Diaries at Old Kings Elementary School
Ed Siarkowicz and Monique Sirios Futch, two of the three principal parthers of The Scud Buster Diaries, were recently invited to attend a science fair at Old Kings Elementary School, Palm Coast. With over 1100 students and parents in attendance, the two Scud Busters presented the importance of weather awareness and showcased video footage and photographs from some of the most memorable of their Flagler County storm chases. In 2015, the storm chase team documented 6 incidents of tornadic rotation and funnel cloud formation that had occurred beneath the Doppler Radar coverage area. Each case resulted in NWS-JAX alerts going out that otherwise would have not been generated due to the gap in radar coverage over Flagler County between Jacksonville and Melbourne Doppler installations.
Marineland Photography Adventures at Old Kings Elementary School
Immediately next to The Scud Busters table at Old Kings that night was the Marineland Photography Adventures table. Lisa Fisher, iPhone Photography Instructor exrtrordinaire and DSLR Instructor Ed Siarkowicz were on hand with original pieces of art taken during the "Behind the Scenes" photo-journey on Marineland property.

The Scud Buster Diaries Partners with Flagler County REACT *(now FCA)
Ed Siiarkowicz, the founder of The Scud Buster Diaries has joined the citizen volunteer arm of Flagler County Emergency Services. After attending a Flagler County EOC REACT meeting as a representative of the storm chasing group, he made the committment to activate The Scud Buster Diaries core members and all 40 members of his auxiliary Northeast Florida Weather Spotters group whenever the EOC activates REACT and Skywarn. What does this mean? Every time Flagler County is threatened by inclement weather, not only will there be another 43 sets of eyes on the storm, there will also be a group of people that go out to intercept, photograph, and video the behavior of severe weather.

Coastal Florida Police & Fire Pipes & Drums goes to the Presidential Inauguration and Ed Siarkowicz is there!
On January 18, 2017, this Flagler County based group of active and retired First Responders traveled to Washington DC after being appointed by the State of Florida to represent them in the Presidential Inauguration Parade. As the band's official photographer, I had the honor of accompanying them. The five day tour included visits to the offices of US Senator Marco Rubio, US Congressman Ron DeSantis, a Wreath Laying Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, and the historic mile-and-a-half parade that has been in place since the Inauguration of Thomas Jefferson. What an amazing adventure - including the two and a half hours of Secret Service security procedures! Each of the 32 members of the band in attendance wore "mourning ribbons" bearing the names of the Police and Fire personnel killed in the line of duty in 2016 and 2017.They dedicated their march in the parade to their fallen brothers and sisters.
