The New 100 Prints Project by Brooks Jensen New image added on 31 July 2009 New! Thanks to a web visitor, an experimental idea, Custom Folios. You pick the 5, 10, or 15 prints you want from the project and we'll build a custom folio for you and even include your name (or gift recipient's name) on the colophon. Fun!I remember the first time I pulled into the Wawona Viewpoint and looked back into Yosemite Valley. I said out loud, "Of course," standing where Ansel Adams made his wonderful Clearing Winter Storm image from right there, probably in the parking lot of the roadside turnout. One need not always suffer for art. Sometimes the tourist spots are the perfect place from which to make an image. Be that as it may, it is still up to us to select the light, the composition, the moment. I can only hope that this image captures that feeling of setting sun on a hot day with a fraction of the success Adams' had in capturing the foggy, wet storm in his image.
