I was photographing a wedding in downtown Milwaukee when this image appeared to me. Guests were just starting to arrive and I had a few minutes to take a short break at the back of the church and check on some of my equipment. While I was back there I saw a family member arrive and take a seat in a pew towards the back. He started praying, for the couple and their marriage I am assuming. He stayed there and prayed for a number of minutes before joining the rest of the guests. A simple reminder to me that we don’t always see those who are looking out for us and keeping us in their thoughts and prayers.

Darrin Ballman is currently traveling through Europe photographing a dozen different small wine producers as they harvest their 2014 crop.

Darrin Ballman

Darrin is pretty much what you might expect to get when you take a native Californian and raise him in the Midwest. Essentially that means he’s pretty laid back, prefers low humidity and ocean breezes, but has a Midwestern accent (as he’s been told). For nearly three decades, Darrin has been focused within the worlds of photography and wine. His wine experiences in California and Ohio have included sales, importing and as a sommelier. Photography has led him from capturing “just about anything people related” to in recent years, exploring the improvisational and documenting what he calls photographic terroir. He resides in the Cincinnati area when not visiting his daughters in California or is off photographing somewhere.
