Peter Lik still on Weather channel?

No it is because of his spot on the WC that his prints went for big money partially. I always though his post work was over too much for my tastes. Now it could be that when he got popular he did ask for more money, as this happens often with flash in the pans. They get some semblance of fame, and then promptly bite the hand that got them there. Not saying this is what happened, but I have seen it before.

He was with some. I just was never impressed with his work as stated above. I actually watched as much of one show I could stand. It was one where he was in Canyonlands and brought one lens, and was whining about maybe not making a certain place at the right time. He never really carried his gear, and would only make appearances to do so. It was typical unReality TV. WHen you see these guys doing things like climbing up rock faces, and making it look difficult to carry their camera, and tripod, just think about the video guy who has the larger camera, and has to move all around that rock face on a rope to get those shots. I respect them far more than the Lik types.

You almost make him sound like the Bear Grylls of photography.
Oh man I loathe Bear Grylls. "Now watch as I jump into this freezing cold lake for no reason at all!"
