Black and white grapes.

The current assignment in my darkroom photography class calls for me to create a series of images that are inspired by a published photographer of my choosing. Whilst I would have liked to do a series of photographs of the Vinodogs, a la William Wegman, the reality is that my poor, arthritic Vinodog 1 can no longer be contorted into various poses just to satisfy my photographic aspirations. Instead, I have decided to create a portfolio of botanical images...starting with grapes of course.

Most of the photos will be included in my Flickr album, to the right of my posts, as the majority of them have nothing to do with viticulture.
ALW: Beat you to the kiwi thing...did that, and a strawberry, for my digital class.

VG, have you thought about giving your arthritic doggie some Metacam©? Worked wonders on our 12 year old Labrador.
Smashing pic btw!

I love the silvery effect of the lighter leaves. Very pretty photograph. I'm sure your portfolio will be stunning, and I'm already a fan of your photography, as you may have noticed. :)
