Phone photograph on a short lens held above and tilted, so the bottles run diagonally and converge slightly, filling the frame corner to corner. Three dark wine bottles lie tangled at different angles and overlapping in long fresh grass that fills the frame, blades crossing in front of them and deep shadow between them. Direct midday daylight, contrasty, hard specular highlights along the glass shoulders and dark shadow underneath. A different brand on each bottle, every label a die-cut in a wavy die-cut label flooded in fluoro green or fluoro red, crude low-resolution pixel-outline drawings in black across it, the legal copy running around the die-cut edge and following its curve cut to a diamond, a cloud and an oval and printed cobalt, coral, pale green, each carrying a farmhand carrying the harvest as the motif, heavy gothic caps, a name in the manner of Loud Creature, and a small flavour ticket in a contrasting colour running around the die-cut edge. Every colour on the pack is flat with a hard edge and the lettering is one flat colour. Dark green glass, wet grass, matte label stock. Hard in the sunlight, the grass in front slightly soft. Grass green and near-black glass with the hot die-cut labels as the only saturated events, reading at three different angles. Offhand and sunlit — someone's picture from a field.
