That time we got the crop duster plane to drop 400 kilos of sulfur on us during a shoot. Cost me $1000 to have camera cleaned and my wife said I smelt of rotton eggs for a week.
We were so unprepared and the photo was not even focused well.
We only had one take.

Was 8 years ago we decided to put a high pressure hose into some wine barrels and then chainsaw and axe them. We used 1500 litres of wine. I lost a Macbook and a $5000 lens.
Was a laugh though.

It's Sunday! So let's start the day with a #vintage #photo of Stefan, the #wine #waiter at the 'de l'Elysee' in Percy Street, Soho, London - 1945. Also a thank you to a profession which is largely invisible and rarely gets the recognition it deserves.

I have just been reminded of the evening when I was shooting photos with one hand and drinking wine with the other.

#Priorat. The last grape.
#priorat #wine #photography #winephotography #biology
Today was out of sink. The trip to La Terra Alta got cancelled while I was half way there so took a left turn to grab a bite to eat at Falset. Falset is the capital of #Priorat, which is wine terms is #Catalonia's holy cow.
For those of you unfamiliar Priorat here is a mini presentation: Priorat is the Catalan answer to La Rioja because La Rioja is the answer to the wines of Bordeaux.
The classic Priorat blend is made of Carinyena (#Carignan) and Garnatxa (#Grenache). What sets this region apart is its complex #topography (very steep hills) and geology (lots of #slate, locally known as licorella). Because of the pendency grapes can only be hand harvested and because of this viticulture in Priorat falls under the definition of Viticultura Heroica (Heroic #Viticulture).
Some pictures taken today:

Foggy vineyard at Conca de Barberà, Catalonia.
Conca de Barberà is known for an autochthonous grape variety called #Trepat. Traditionally used as part of the blend for the production of #Cava, it has recently come in to a life of its own. I will talk about it's specific character and some great organic producers who work with this variety in future entries.
