Gelatin silver print Provided by the artist - Carl Uytterhaegen "When opening a bottle of wine it is a common practice to sniff the cork at side facing the wine to test the quality and see if has become 'corked' which gives a smell like vinegar. This was told to Ansel and..so he did. But…. the bottle of table wine had a plastic cap…. and so there was nothing to smell…." (Carl Uytterhaegen, December 2006)
The portrait was taken in 1975 at the Rencontres Internationales de Photographie in Arles (South France)
