Rajasthan, India. 1983.
"I was driving along a road between Jodhpur and Jaisalmer in Rajasthan, India. It was sunny and incredibly hot, about 110 °F (43 °C), when the sky suddenly darkened and a pre-monsoon dust storm began. As the storm grew stronger and more dramatic, the air became thick with dust. Through the haze, I could see these women huddled along the sides of the road to shield themselves from the fierce wind. This region had been drought-stricken for more than a decade, and the women were singing a prayer for rain. I got out of the car, ran across a field, and photographed them a few moments before the storm subsided. Then the sun came out immediately, as if nothing had ever happened".
