Neil Baker
Born in 1945, Neil Baker was raised in Newton, Massachusetts. Prior to moving to Southern California in the mid 80s, Baker and his family began spending summer holidays on the Bay at Provincetown’s East End. “Having taken photos for years, I realized that most of my favorites were of this place. With the ever-changing light, and my relative state of calm, I felt pleasantly compelled to take photos here, where the most simple events (a curtain blowing in an open window, a father playing at dawn playing with his children) inspire me. These photos are able to bring me quickly back to these moments, the light, the heaviness of the air, and

Otherwise, no one else sees that print. The ability to capture these images which I see with my eyes and in mind's eye, and then convey these to others, is the most gratifying part of this effort. It's like trying to relate an event to someone and calling upon all of your verbal skills to explain what you've witnessed..."
