shooting grapes in Chile 2005

Description:

I was sent on assignment to shoot grapes at a vinyard in the Andes Mountains of Chile in April, 2005. I found the country to be just amazing. I worked alone in the vinyards surrounded by the mountains with the native Americans walking past me once or twice a day as they picked grapes. The ground was quite arid. I can't even begin to tell you how many cabernet sauvignon grapes I ate since there was no where to go for lunch close by. At night I watched the stars in the Southern Hemisphere sky in wonder, feeling as if I was on another world. And when I reached the Pacific Ocean and was still on New York time, I just smiled knowing how different things were. At night I feasted on a meal of gambas from the Antarctic Ocean. It was a wonderful shoot.
