last weekend i was in the Napa California to photograph a wedding (more on that soon). i was there for a couple of days and had the opportunity to just wander around and take pictures. my brother-in-law Todd was with me, he is also a world traveler and loves wandering and shooting too, so it was good times.

as we wandered we came across Al who was born and raised on the very property where we found him. he has been working the land, his 27 acres of vineyards his entire life. we found him working at grafting some new variety in his vineyard, we talked with him for a bit, learned a bit about his life and made some compelling images of him too. good times.
