Grandpa's Vineyard


Last summer I got a call from an older couple asking me if I could photograph their family in the studio. The oldest son was flying in from California and wouldn't it be nice. . . After visiting with them for a little while I asked them if they had ever thought about shooting outside. They mentioned that they did have this vineyard that the father was particularly fond of. That had me excited. I knew we had to do it.

When I arrived at the farm, the actual vineyard was a bit petite. There was no particular geography or vista that lent itself to a stunning image. Finally I came up with the idea of climbing up on the shed, wheeling out the old tractor and taking advantage of some golden sunshine.
