Back in food photography land again. This time a "food/travel" article - pick a restaurant, come back with a two page spread.
M and I went to Andersen's Danish Bakery on State Street in Santa Barbara, a popular breakfast destination for tourists. M went to high school with Charlotte, the younger Andersen, who is quite possibly the nicest waitress of all time. Anyway, a dear teacher once told me that if you're going to shoot food without a stylist, do dessert, so that's what we did. We asked Charlotte to bring us some good looking pastries and then proceeded to photograph and then eat about two week's worth of calories. It was really hard to get a roll of shots off before attacking everything with a fork, especially when I was holding my Hasselblad upside down, which made the image upside down and backwards.
So. Don't look at this if you're hungry. Better not look at this either.
Oh my god that place is good. The Danish meatballs are to die for, too. Better than my Danish grandma used to make, even.

I want that apple tart right now!
