From the Author:

Author Quote Upon Receiving Ben Franklin Award: "As a former National Geographic photographer, I felt very confident about the photography. But I wanted the text to be just as compelling. To me it seems the copy in most photography books is thin, lightweight. I wanted the copy for this book to be just as strong as the photography. I also wanted the copy to be very personal. Rather than a book on Oregon wine, I wanted it to be about the people. My goal was to get very personal stories. I knew I was on the right track when about three-quarters of the way through my very first interview, Dick Ponzi looked at me and said, 'I'm telling you things I've never told anyone before.' During my interview with David Lett and his son Jason, they had father-son conversations they had never had before, right on my digital recorder."
