These photos are beautiful!
great post and your photos rock!
MMnnn. . . I loves me some dessert, especially when it’s for breakfast!
El desierto, no es un pastelito.
Aww Bri I love this tour of Boston one restaurant at the time. I wish I could go to Clio. Love this profile of the pastry chef and uber nice they are aware on nut allergies.
damn, I love your photos, Brian. I love shot of her focused look as she is plating.
Beautiful Brian. I want the doughnut!
One of my favorite places in Boston, and you captured the romance of the Clio … perfectly! Thank you for taking me there for a moment today.
Oh. My. Goodness. What an artist – spectacular dishes, no wonder you were impressed by this woman. Fantastic photographs, they do her food justice which must be a difficult feat! Well done.
Such stunning photos, Brian!!
Fantastic photos, Brian! What a fun assignment.
That really was a lesson in beauty. The effort that goes into those must be enormous and then we eat them in a few seconds. At least we can immortalise them in photos.
This is so amazing and beautiful. I love you and your olive dounuts.
You are so amazingly talented. Beautiful photos!
Some absolutely beautiful dishes. her plating is brilliant. beautiful shots B!
