Ok so maybe this is actually a Saturday morning in September but you get the idea. Last month I had the pleasure of spending a really lovely morning with the Lucas Family. You might remember that I photographed their wedding along the Russian River this summer. Dad, Alina, and I started bright and early, 7 am to be exact. We made our way to the Alemany Farmer’s Market in San Francisco. If you love food and live in SF you’ve been here. Alice Waters has been known to shop here. It’s an incredibly diverse market where you can buy fresh seafood, delicious breads and pastries, rare mushrooms, Asian vegetables I have no idea how to cook, all kinds of seasonal fruits and vegetables, and even live chickens. Yep, live chickens.
I was so impressed that many of the vendors knew Alina and her dad. This was undoubtedly a weekly trip for the two of them. After the market, we headed home to see mom and baby Fiona. We had a little tea featuring my absolute favorite ceramics company Heath Ceramics, ate more pastries, and spent some time in their contemporary art-filled home (which is actually an amazing renovated fire station). I was envious of their photography collection to say the least.
Thanks to Daniel, Svetlana, Alina, and Fiona for a lovely morning. Enjoy a few of my favorites. When’s the last time you took your kids to the Farmer’s Market?
