So Fresh: 1941
June 1941. Produce market in San Diego, California. View full size. 35mm nitrate negative by Russell Lee for the Farm Security Administration.
The Eggplant .....
Well, I love supermarket and store photos and this one is great. I am wondering, however, why , in one place in the store, the Eggplant is 5 cents and in another part of the store it costs 10 cents.The two do not look different in size.
The hair style is French braid, I believe and many people do it themselves.The shoes are quite unusual, though.
1940s Hair Style
I'm not knowledgeable about women's hair styles, but I like the way her hair is braided. It looks complicated and perhaps something she could not have done herself.
She takes her squash--and
She takes her squash--and her shoes!--seriously!
Hmmm....
Look at those unique shoes!
security

What is eating her shoes?
This type of scene is so mundane, it is a wonder people thought to take the pictures, but I am SO GLAD THEY DID!
I wonder what she was thinking
This woman seems so intent on choosing the right vegetable that I wonder if she even knew the picture was being taken. Or maybe it was taken for security? I have no idea. I wonder what she was thinking and where she is now, sixty seven years later. I love the beautiful simplicity of this scene: an everyday thing that people rarely stop to admire these days.
