This silver gelatin photograph was produced and given as a Christmas gift by Chuck Henningsen for his electronic businesses: Insulectro, Quintec Manufacturing, and Vykra, of which he was one of three co-founders, formed after working as one of the early Hewlitt-Packard engineers (when it was a 300 person operation).
After selling his electronics businesses where "We got away with more money than we should have," Chuck Henningsen studied photography with tutoring from Ansel Adams, working with Adams at his studio in Yosemite.
He captures Half Dome in Yosemite National Park in California as a winter snow storm begins to break up, the mountain face and its surroundings becoming visible through the storm clouds. A selected moment, before everything changes again.
