Tending Vines Photo

Photographer’s Note

Another shot from the same location as yesterday. Again, not that great technically, and tightly cropped an original already quite grainy neg. On the other hand I think it's quite interesting to see this aspect of French agriculture (part of the insoluable CAP problem). Even in 1996 I was amazed to see these guys using musuem equipment for practical farming, on the other hand, maybe that's all you need for a vinyard, I wonder how the Australians work it.

Hi Richard

I like the tonal range & contrast, in this superb b&w image. Good lighting & framing. Well done!

Hi Richard,

The dark contrast and grain adds a lot to this picture. The lack of detail is quite nice.

Hi Richard,
Verry artistic shot, a real feeling of old times.
Reading your note I sadly realized that in my contry the agriculture is not fully recover after 50 years of comunism and most of peasants not have eaven the "musuem equipment" like in your photo ...
Thanks again,
Regards,
Filip.
