Check in 1 pm -1:45 pm, Shoot 2 pm sharp
Who:
SFMOMA’s Blue Bottle Coffee pastry chef Leah Rosenberg and MAP founder and culinary artist Andrea Blum will create a Rothko picnic blanket on the SFMOMA’s Rooftop Garden for a collective aerial photo of Bay Area food artisans and the public.
Where:
SFMOMA rooftop Sculpture Garden and Blue Bottle Coffee Bar.
When:
April 21, 2013. Photo participants check in at rooftop between 1 pm -1:45 pm for set up. Photo shoot begins at 2 pm sharp. The shoot will last about an hour. The event will be over at 5 pm. Drop off of food items anytime after 11 am.
How:
Pre-sign up is required. If you have not signed in do it by April 19th here. Participants can get their entry tickets to the museum in the atrium at the info desk where there will be a list. The museum opens at 11 am. Recommended to see: Christian Marclay’s video installation The Clock (2010). If you do not find yourself on the list tell the front desk you are part of the rooftop photo shoot as a back up.
Artisan Food and Drink drop off instructions:
If your items are bigger than a small backpack or shoulder pack, do not bring the items through the front entrance. Instead drop them off at the Minna Street entrance (You still get your tickets at the info desk). For more than a backpack, a box, for example, call Leah Rosenberg at 415-264-8697 who will meet you at the Minna Street entrance and bring the items to the roof. This must happen well before 2pm. Suggestion: drop off early 11-12 and have a look at the museum, check in at the rooftop around 1 pm and have a coffee.
What
to bring:
Artisans bring their tools and food craft to share as samples and to set up as part the composition for the photo. Be inspired by color or form by the museum collection. The Rothko is orange and blue and could be inspired by those colors, for example. No cooking, alcohol, or selling. Bring promotional cards for sure and sample-style ways to taste your products. Keep it simple. The items you bring represent what you do and make. We will make a pattern with the items for the photo. Bring warm clothes in case.
What to expect on the roof:
Artisans and the public must sign in and get a number that will be used to identify you in the photo. You will get a hand printed piece of fabric to use as part of the Rothko background. You’ll sign a photo release form and a liability form to be in the photo. Go into the sculpture garden and start your set up for the photo. Place your fabric down and arrange your items within a 2x2 space above your head. There will be areas to set up your samples atop butcher paper to share too. Leah Rosenberg will have a station to make Rothko toasts with apricot butter and blueberry jam in honor of the artist. The photo shoot will begin at 2 pm.
Any questions please call Andrea Blum at 415-300-6686

Santa Cruz aerial photo at the Homeless Garden Project farm
A wonderfully warm weekend was the perfect set for a photo op. For a couple of hours local artisans laid in the cover crops of vetch, favas and calendula while a flying camera hovered above them to capture these shots. The Homeless Garden Project farm hosted us and gave our project a warm embrace. What an amazing u-pick farm and mission! Here is who showed up: Silk Road Elixirs (aka Cardamon Tuesday), Shelly’s Biscotti, Creative Cultures, The Penny Ice Creamery, El Salchichero butcher shop, Uncommon Brewers, Melinda’s Gluten Free, Three of a Kind sparkling drinks, Santa Cruz Mountain Breweing, Voss Gardens, Serendipity Saucy Spreads, and the folks from the Homeless Garden Project.

Hello Everyone
Here’s the skinny— fill out the form below so we know who you are and what you will bring. This information will help us write about you and celebrate what you make.
WHEN: Sunday, February 17th, 12:00 PM
WHERE: Santa Cruz at the Homeless Garden Project off Shaffer Road on the west side of town just off Delaware Ave. It’s a u-pick garden.
WHO: My American Pantry (MAP): a project to create an atlas of American Artisan Food and Drink.
WHAT: Group Aerial photo shoot of food and drink artisans in the Santa Cruz and Monterey Area.
HOW: Sign in at www.myamericanpantry.com or sign up here. It’s required.
BRING: Examples of your food or drink and tools of your trade including jars, animals, bottles of microbrews. The object here is to get a pattern of people and things such as bagels, pies, bottles and animals to make the photo as interesting as we can. Bring something to protect your bum in case the ground is wet: ie. a yoga mat or a solid colored blanket. We will be laying in the grass. Bring samples of your work if you would MAP to review it.
WHY: We are using and testing a very cool remote control camera to take the shot from a remote control quad heli flying above us.
The goal is to travel around the state and eventually the country documenting the great American artisan food landscape and creating an interactive atlas of food, drink with stories of the people who make it.
If you would like to help organize a shoot in your food community please contact us.
The more the merrier in our book.

The January shoot attracted a fantastic group of fresh juice makers, seaweed pickers, mushroom foragers, gluten-free soul food, farm eggs, a citrus cocktail, biscotti inspired from Bari, pickles, pie, cupcakes, nut pates, grilled cheese, pastured meats and rabbit pelts, granola, olive oil from Mendocino and bread. Stayed tuned to the website to find out more about this handsome bunch and what they produce at our website. If you would like to help organize a shoot in your food community please contact us.
The more the merrier in our book. Below are a few highlights from the January shoot in Marin County.
