AITA for calling out my chase partner of 6 years after he sold my tornado shot as his own
been chasing with Dale (52M) for six years, we split gas and gear costs 50/50 every trip. may 3rd we caught a stovepipe tornado outside Watonga, i was the one who got the shot, hanging half out the window while he drove because the RFD was closing fast and he wanted to bail. KFOR bought the photo for $400 and Dale sent it in under his own name, never mentioned me, kept the whole check. found out when my buddy Ray saw it on the news site with Dale's byline under it. i called him out in our chaser group chat, posted the raw file with the camera metadata timestamp to prove it was mine. group chat's split now, some say i should've just texted him privately instead of airing it, others say he straight up stole from me and deserves it. Dale says i'm making a bigger deal out of $400 than it's worth and that i wouldn't even have had the angle without his driving. we haven't chased together in three weeks, right as season's peaking, and i'm down a spotter.
