The rain stopped and the clouds cleared for a very nice photo experience. Twenty-three amazing artisans from around the Bay Area and Northern California came out for the shoot with their hand made and hand gathered products. The quad helicopter holding the camera buzzed like a swarm of bees above and captured the warm feeling buzzing on the ground. Thank you to everyone who made it out and participated in the shoot. The challenge now is to get more and more people involved and to travel around California and the country capturing the inherent beauty of real good American food and the people who make it. The photo here is provided by Kenny Blum Photography and his magical helicopter that makes aerial photography for MAP happen.
