Oswaldo - thought of you when I received this the other day.

Nicolas Chaudun recently published "Le cuvier de Jasnières" - a book of photographs by sculptor Jean-Bernard Métais and text by Philippe Claudel : rich, sometimes abstract textures of fermenting musts, grape skins, tanks and bungholes.

One more link about the volume, from a photography blog

Oh, my kingdom for a bunghole.
