There are many things I continue to practice. One is the idea of the beginner’s mind. This child’s gaze reminds me of this… of the wonderment of it all. Francis Baker Photography

I am also working on Sonja and James wedding album. Here is a nice spread. Francis Baker Photography

I am designing an album for the Parents of the Groom. It is always interesting to create an album and to work with my clients on the layout. I start by designing about half the book, then show the client a PDF of the pages. These pages are the jumping off point. From the client’s comments, I get a good feel for their particular style so I can create their treasure. Here are a couple spreads from this album. FrancisBakerPhotography

Wishing the whole world piece and love. Francis Baker Photography

I have been using the camera on my Iphone more and more. I never went to the ‘dark side’ and used camera phones much. They were always small, pixelly things at best to keep an image on your phone only when someone wanted to see a picture of Leo. Now, however, I have turned and stared into the inky void directly… the black magic of the toy camera. There are so many photo apps for the Iphone that allows you to make images that equal (or at least are close to) the holga and diana toy camera movement. Here is a list of a few photo apps I use: tiltshiftgen, Mill colour, filterFX and OldCamera. The images that follow are straight from my phone.
