2017-11-07 Travel Tuesday, Sedona AZ

Sedona has long been a favorite place for my wife and I to visit. During the most rescent excursion, during this past October, I was able to convince Heidi to get up very early and join me at one of the lookout points on Schnebly Hill Road. It was the only morning there was any significant cloud cover, so I was very happy to be shooting.

This is a little while after sunrise. You can see the mountain in the back is fully illuminated on the right side (the Sun is behind my right shoulder) and the closer Red Rock edifice is still in shadow. I felt it made for a nice composition and explored the nuance of the early morning Sun.

2017-11-06 What does a photographer do on his days off?

Well the easy answer is that he takes pictures. The truth is a bit more complicated. Without deadlines and demands from clients the world slows down. Time can become a luxury rather than a pressure. I can wait for a cloud to move, or for the wind to recede, I can interact with the landscape and breath with it. I can immerse my craft into the world and let beauty fill the viewfinder.

July 1 Website changes

Peering and searching through the internet while gazing and drooling over beautiful websites from photographers all over the world made me realize how my own website was a bit lacking in ease of use. I've made a few changes and will continue to hone the design of GavinBakerPhotography over the next few weeks. Take a fresh look around and see what you think. Enjoy

April 2017 Desktop Calendar

So yes, I did miss a month, and I apologize, but sometimes life gets in the way. This photo was taken along the river walk in Philadelphia and it is of some Cherry Blossoms. The introduction of Spring feels delayed here in the Northeast this year so hopefully with the flowering of the Cherry Trees, Winter is safely behind us. Get outside and breath in the fresh air! (after taking your allergy medication of choice). Click here for the high resolution image of this desktop, and please share as much as you would like.
