For someone like me who spends nearly all my time at my computer or in my kitchen, spending an entire day, from morning till night, in San Francisco with my camera was an indulgent, luxurious slice of wonder. Many thanks to Penny de los Santos for leading this weekend's food photography workshop; to the fine chefs and owners of Contigo for opening their space to us and for their colorful, inspirational, and outstanding food; to the bakers and diners at Tartine Bakery & Cafe, who proved that one really can eat one's weight in saturated fat and live to tell the tale; and to the residents of San Francisco's Mission District, who permitted a motley group of 25 food enthusiasts, writers, and bloggers to roam their neighborhood, and who showed us great courtesy in the process.
Thanks, too, to Aleta Watson, who so generously served as my compass throughout the day, and to Stephanie Stiavetti, for bringing the workshop to my attention.
Here's a 45 second peek at my 8 hour day. More photos to come in future posts...
Please enjoy.
