more please.


after much thought, i have decided that the end of this year will mark the end of my simply breakfast blog. it has been a lot of fun and i'm sure i will continue to take photos of my breakfast here and there, but the time has come for me to focus on other things.

so, to document this past year, i have created another book. it picks up where my last book left off. i am very pleased with it, and it is fun to look back and remember every breakfast with fondness. you can preview the book here, and see a little more here. the book is 7x7inches and 70 pages.

thanks so much for looking at my photos every day!

i am heartbroken! breakfast and the morning time is sacred to me and i loved seeing this ritual through your eyes and getting inspired every morning before making my own breakfast. my boyfriend even gave me an early christmas present of one of your breakfast prints and we just framed it. good luck to!

oh...I've been reading your blog from Seoul every morning. Someday, please stop by in Seoul for nice home-made breakfast.

Pink Sky said...

Thank you for sharing your breakfasts over all this time. I've been a longtime visitor but don't comment much. It was so nice to see your creativity both in the photos and in the delicious food and presentation - thank you.

I do regret I likely won't be able to find out where you found that cute chickens mug. :( It made me smile when it made its appearance on the blog.

Oh no! I discovered your blog earlier this year and it has been my daily ritual to go to your blog to look at your beautifully photographed breakfasts to keep me calm at work. I plan on buying BOTH of your books when I can afford to - your photos are so beautiful and your table ware is inspiring!

I do hope the site will remain open, as Anonymous asked, so I can still look at a calm image to start my mornings at work. You will be missed!

BTW: of all the blogs I've discovered this year, this is the first one I've been brave enough to comment on - sorry it wasn't earlier than this occasion =(

Molly said...

Congratulations to the end of a gorgeous project. I look forward to seeing what is new in store for you!

please say it's not true! always a viewer, never one to comment, I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your breakfasts all this time. I was definitely disappointed to read that this is the end :( Thank you for your beautiful photos. All the best.

Cheers

GW said...

I have your first book and I love it as much as my 3191 book. I might just have to order this one too. Thank you for bringing such an innovative style of photography to the fore.

Anonymous said...

I've enjoyed your blog for so long and always admired your work so much. Hey maybe your next project is going to be "Simply Lunch"?? (Just think what you could do with a grilled cheese and cup of tomato soup?) just a suggestion...But thanks for demonstrating that even the mundane can become artistic.

Josephine Tournier Ingram said...

Thank you for the inspiration. Maybe you would like to know that I am a foreign reader from Brasil. I hope your book gets here. bye bye and good luck
