David Mist photographed wine conoisseur Len Evans at Sydney’s Royal Easter Show for his 1969 publication, Sydney: a book of photographs. A portrait taken from a low angle generally has the effect of enobling the subject and in this case, the angle couple with the wine glasses in the foreground is a visual representation of Len Evans’s status as an expert in his field. According to Wikipedia, Leonard Paul Evans AO, OBE (31 August 1930 – 17 August 2006) was an English-born Australian promoter, maker, judge, taster, teacher and drinker of wine. The Oxford Companion to Wine wrote that Len Evans did more to advance the cause of wine in Australia than any other individual. Evans felt that it was important that that an appreciation and basic understanding of wine be available to everyone. To this end he wrote a column on wine in the Australian Women’s Weekly .
