Recently, I had the pleasure of sharing a highly recommended bottle of Chateau Ste. Michelle's Gewürztraminer with a special someone on a rainy day. A couple of days later another tropical shower hit during the evening and I was admittedly missing my friend when I decided to create this image with the now empty and lonely bottle of wine.

Framed the shot from somewhere dry and ran out and placed the bottle where I wanted it so it would be back lit by the street lamp to make sure the rain could be seen coming down.

Soon after a quick upload and minor tweaks, the phone rang as I was saving the final JPG and turns out my friend had decided to surprise me and was on her way over. In spanish we sometimes say "Te llame con el pensamiento" which translates to "I called you with my thoughts"... well in this case it seems I managed to do it with a photograph. She wondered why I chuckled as I took her call - now she knows why.

The white framing was a lucky accident and I immediately fell in love with the layout. At this point I saw a clear stylistic familiarity with the work of Dustin Diaz (http://photography.dustindiaz.com), so I felt it appropriate to utilize Trajan Pro as the font as an homage.

One ring to rule them all.
