That's a lot of wine

Inspiration can hit you anywhere, anytime.

Like in the wine section of the grocery store, which I’m rushing through because a) we all rush through the grocery store these days, and b) I’m not even looking for wine on this particular visit.

Which is odd, because my name literally means, “My vineyard”. Yet I barely drink the stuff. Or any alcohol, for that matter. It just doesn’t do it for me.

But the visuals of wine are another story altogether, with artfully designed labels and bottles all competing for our attention, all telling the stories of how they came to be.

And so I find myself staring at the colors and patterns of this particular display. And I shoot a couple of fast, imperfect frames before returning to my more typical pandemic-driven rush.

I call it photography in the everyday, and it follows a predictably accelerated process: get in, get your stuff, get out.

Except when you see something neat, in which case there’s always a sliver of extra time to take a second look.
