When I was in my MBA program, I started one of my class presentations with a photo of a croissant. At the time, the croissant was completely relevant for my presentation topic. Trust me on that. I wasn’t a typical MBA student (not an engineer, no business background, never worked in a corporate office), and I think my peers must have gotten used to me presenting and talking about things from a non-traditional business student perspective. I think. Anyhow, the point of this post is not to share tales from my MBA life, but it’s to share photography of one of my most favourite French treats. And by the number of photos of croissants that exist online, I’m not the only one who is a fan.

These food photos have two things in common: croissants and newspapers. It’s a simple combo for a lovely still life!

Are these photos making you hungry?

If you live in the Waterloo region, I recommend the croissants at Golden Hearth Bakery (across from Kitchener market). They’re buttery, crispy, and soft in the middle. If you have croissant recommendations where you live, please let us know in the comments.
