STORIES AND SNIPPETS BY PHOTOGRAPHER BRAD BAKER

Here are the stories behind the photography.  A picture says a thousand words.  I'll try to keep them below that. I'll share adventures from places I've visited and how I research and plan for the next image.  You'll also find an ongoing resource for collectors as well as photography enthusiasts as well: honest guides to understanding fine art print quality, paper and medium choices, archival standards, and what separates a truly exceptional print from an ordinary photograph.  I'll throw in some thoughts for the gear heads as well.  I'm a sucker for the newest gadget that helps to improve the final result. Lots of voyage lies ahead, and I can't wait to cover some new ground, revisit some favorite destinations, and share the moments as I go.
