BOORNY

Yesterday’s 7am assignment was definitely one of my most interesting yet. I was sent out to Hydes, Maryland which is situated deep in the northern Maryland hills, making the drive exciting on its own. Boorny Vineyards, a local winery, was in the middle of a harvest and I was to make some images for a story. I have been to several vineyards here in the States as well as in France when I lived there, but did not think there were any this close. Boorny is a beautiful place and the grapes are sweet! Phineas (see image), the son of the owner, was extremely helpful and let me roam around and try the pinot gris (grigio) grapes right off the vine. I don’t drink so I cant comment on the actual finished product, but judging from other factors, its wonderful! The morning sun really helped bring lift these photos up a bit. I also spent my days off in Philly so stay tuned for a small essay I’m working on from that short trip.
