farmer's market

8.22.06
11 a.m.
Farmer's Market 16th & Q, Sac
(Fremont Park)

meeting up with my plein air painting friends - stretching my seeing - at least some - of course I find myself drawn to the park's huge old trees -



City sounds: traffic, conversations, little dogs barking, an airplane overhead

Smells of the market: fresh baked breads, cooked chicken, pungent lime



light breeze, cool in the shade on the green grass - flies and yellow jackets occasionally buzz by -


{Post Script 9.12.06: Left negatives in water all this time - was that three weeks? - at any rate, too long and all three were destroyed, emulsion completely disintegrated. This is how I learn my limits.}
