Mercredi 1er février 2011
Ce mardi 31 janvier se cloturaient les inscriptions aux Born Digital Wine Awards, récompensant les meilleures créations littéraires, multimédias et photos publiées sur le web avec comme thème central le vin.
J'ai donc décidé d'apporter ma modeste contribution dans la catégorie "photoreportage"...
