Farmers Market in Los Angeles, 1947
One of the pleasures of living in L.A. is hanging out at the Farmers Market. In 1934, it was a dirt lot where farmers would sell fruits and vegetables out of the back of their trucks. Today it’s a mammoth food emporium, always packed with locals and tourists. There are stalls stocked with organic meats and poultry, hot sauces from around the globe, and a vendor that sells the best homemade gefilte fish in town. This 1947 photo was shot inside the Market, by the renowned French photographer, Henri Cartier-Bresson.
