Happy at work (portrait)



I thought that I'd contribute a little something that my father (your regular host) couldn't. For those who don't know, I am in management with Saint Louis Bread Co (Panera Bread, for those elsewhere in the US). Bob and I had discussed the possibility of me taking some shots of the bakers who work overnight at each café, to post for the breakfast theme day on August 1st, but I got a bit overwhelmed and couldn't do it. Also of note is the factoid that this photo was taken at the Kirkwood, MO bakery-café, the first ever SLBC/Panera café (it will turn 20? years old this fall).

But finally, I like this photo just as a portrait. I often wish that I could be as happy at work as Camille (the photo's subject). And also, I like the beige and green of Camille's outfit in the foreground, and the warm oranges and cool blues of the background.

  4. She's got lovely taste in eye-wear, and I definately agree with lynette as well. Especially on such a gray day a radiant smile shines even brighter.

    Do you always work at the same Bread Co. or do you move around occassionally to different stores like my friend does with Taco Bell? I often frequent the Brentwood or Galleria Bread Co. because I live in the BWood and my friend's hubby works at the Galleria location.

    I love the color pallets too.
