Secret Project

July 14, 2011 The Press 5 Comments

OK, so I have more than one “secret project,” but this is one of them. I had the opportunity to photograph a new winery taking shape the other week. It is going to be a beautiful and fitting space for the winemaker and it is a privilege to watch it come together.

The half finished state of the winery inspired me to find the emotion in the texture of the materials. Not having something “finished” to shoot forces you to realize that all things are “finished” in their own unique way.

“The Secret Project” will be revealed at a later date.

    I like how your mind works. What I take away from “all things are ‘finished’ in their own unique way” is a feeling of beauty and innocence. There is something so intriguing about the unknown or untouched. An idea of what could be…the beauty of it in its purest form.

    Cheers

  2. Wayne says:

    Courtney, I think that is very true. Everything has a potential, and yet even on its own, that potential is complete already, if that makes any sense.

    I think I have taken a lot from walking sustainable vineyards, vineyards that try to allow nature to be as unobstructed as possible. There is something beautiful about the raw materials of a field, a stack of rocks, a weed. The art is already there, we just have to look at it the right way.

Alma Rosa – The Valley of Giants

How do you measure a man? How do you judge his life’s work? Is it by wealth, by notoriety, the opinions of others? For the banker, is it by the quantity of his assets, or the doctor by the lives he saved? What about the winemaker, is it his vineyard, his winery, his wine? How do [...]

Sea Smoke Cellars – This Is Sea Smoke

I have seen two of Bob Davids’ homes. One is a gorgeous tropical pavilion in the foothills of Mount Batur, Bali. The other, is a 20′ tow behind trailer perched high on a hillside overlooking his Sta. Rita Hills vineyard. The first I saw on page 68 of August’s Architectural Digest and the latter I [...]
