Stormclouds, Washburn Point, was made on August 13, 1983, during a workshop I was teaching along with Lewis Kemper, William Neill, and Cole Weston. The day was full of wonderful, misty clouds, sometimes obscuring the view altogether, only to suddenly lift, and present us with a new assortment of clouds, rain, and views. As the clouds were drifting up-canyon, I could see that they would gracefully encircle Vernal Fall, and one of my most favorite YoSemite photographs was made.
