註釋The beloved Napa Valley offers a wonderful, evocative sense of discovery to people from around the world. Visitors return time and again to soak in the sights and scents of this agrarian community located north of San Francisco and the Golden Gate in Northern California. All four of the seasons and the pace of Mother Nature are intimately linked. summer days are long and warm. winter can be crisp and bright, evenings are cool. It is familiar. Here through the images of fine art photographer Sam Aslanian, employing long-expired and unpredictable film to help tell the story, one finds a unique and unexpected look, or perspective, on the Napa Valley. From back road to main street, with his camera, Aslanian captures scenes of life in and around this famous wine valley that are sometimes voyeuristic, other times participatory. The surprising color variations brought out by the aging film, and the grainy quality that seems more akin to a hand drawing than a photograph, cause pause and reflection as if the familiar site is being seen for the first time. It is a gift Aslanian shares. The narrative leads to a deeper understanding of the valley, from the culture, history and civic life of the vqalley's bucolic towns and vintner community to the geology, climate and geography that make this place so perfect for the growing of fine wine grapes. Join in the exploration of the Napa region with this new view.
