When I happened upon this display in a general store in Honolulu, the first thing that came to my mind was, "What's keeping the bottles from sliding off the shelves?"
No, I'm joking. That would be just plain silly. In reality, my very first thought was of an old George Carlin skit where he is the announcer for "Wonderful WINO Wadioooh, in Western Wallawalla." And that's certainly not silly.
Then I thought it would be fun to photograph the bottles from a totally different and more interesting perspective than we're likely to see in retail. As I stood there, camera tilted and head contorted to all sorts of strange angles, I got the strangest looks from passing shoppers. Questioning looks, wondering if I had inbibed of the grape before wandering, unbalanced, into the store.
No, I don't drink. I always look like that - just moreso when holding a camera in front of my face!
