I returned from Ohio on Saturday and ran right back out the door for a shoot at a winery near Kansas City on Sunday. The plan was that there would be a large number of people harvesting grapes but that work has been postponed for a week to let the fruit build up some more sugar. I’ll probably go back again next weekend but thought I’d better get something in the can yesterday since the weather was good. No telling what next Sunday might be like. So, I made do with the absolutely terrific owners of the winery and staged a little bit of a harvest. I really like what I got but also look forward to shooting the entire process with buckets and buckets of grapes.

The Ohio trip also went well but there was always a little something that prevented me from getting what I had in my head onto the card. I usually have some preconceived idea for a shoot before I arrive on location. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t. The best is what seems to happen most often and that is discovering something that is even better than what I had in mind. Certainly a lot of that happened on this trip but there were also a few shots that I would have loved to have captured that just didn’t come together. I’ll post more about those missed opportunities over the next few days.

Oh, and I finally have a shiny, new version of WordPress powering this blog. There have been a few hiccups so far but I hope to soon be able to add some new bells and whistles.
