tom, please remember that i am working only with 8 pictures of you or your vineyard. i really need more pictures, including a panoramic photo of the valley, a recent photo of your wine cellar, and one taken from your hillside that might include your house. Also, when you professionally print your label, i'll need to re-shoot the photo of your bottle for clarity.

i liked this because it shows the forest, the vines, a portion of the terrace, and you at work. i cropped it to get rid of stephanie and tom, as well as for emphasis on the important elements of the vineyard that you had mentioned.

the original

i also liked this picture. i took stephanie out of the picture because i didn't know if you wanted her picture on the web. i also removed the dolly, and the hose at the feet of stephanie

the original

this, obviously, shows your wine cellar in transition (i removed a chair, wiring, scaffolding, and a flourescent light from the image)

introspective tom enjoying the tranquility of white oak creek. i cropped the picture for effect and to get rid of the weeds

the original

this is a panorama showing the forest, the vines, and the terrace. i removed the top of the food unit

this is the grandaddy of visual manipulation. the entire bottom third of the picture has been manipulated. i removed your tractor, 2 playpens, a survey post, garbage on top of your rock wall, the food unit, your truck, the parents car, some miscellaneous garbage, and i moved the rock wall up further into the picture.

the original.
p.s. our family tree
