Erika Gross, Sharpsburg, Maryland, 1988 |
When we left Shepherdstown, West Virginia - just five miles away - the sun was high in the sky, though it appeared a storm was coming in on the edge of the horizon.
Less than ten minutes later, these black clouds came rolling in, and transformed the construction site at which we were shooting into a setting for great visual drama.
For once, foreboding clouds were harbingers of an unforgetful composition, instead of a washout.
