Designer, developer and photographer in Michigan, doing what (little) I can to help it recover its former glory. I run my own design company, Elevated Works, my photography is at peterbaker.net, and my (just photos) photoblog is treemeat.com.Tumblr (3.0; @peterbaker)http://ptrbkr.com/<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz30bx14XG1qz4l98o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Somewhere in Montana</p>http://ptrbkr.com/post/17266388340http://ptrbkr.com/post/17266388340Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:57:30 -0500MontanaTreeHellfireOriginal ContentMinePhotography<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz300tPBKl1qz4l98o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.boat-mag.com/">Luke</a> <a href="http://teaim.tumblr.com/">Tonge</a>, Detroit</p>http://ptrbkr.com/post/17266185937http://ptrbkr.com/post/17266185937Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:50:51 -0500DetroitWallDollarMineOriginal ContentPhotography<p>I have been thinking I need more tits and graffiti.</p>http://ptrbkr.com/post/17211690374http://ptrbkr.com/post/17211690374Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:49:07 -0500<p>Touché</p>http://ptrbkr.com/post/17211154036http://ptrbkr.com/post/17211154036Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:30:27 -0500<blockquote> <p>There’s nothing wrong with not being any good at photography. Everybody started out bad and none of us does all aspects of it well. But it’s a crying shame to want to be good at it, to spend time and money trying to be good at it, and not getting any better.</p> <p>This isn’t like teaching a child to read. Positive reinforcement is your enemy. Your Facebook friends, your Twitter followers… hate you. Instead of taking ten seconds to say. “This doesn’t work. You need to do better”. They readily push that “like” button, because it’s easy and they hope to get the same from you, but also because they’re cowards.</p> </blockquote> <p>- <a href="http://kennethjarecke.typepad.com/mostly_true/2012/02/chances-are-you-suck.html">Kenneth Jarecke</a> (via <a href="http://www.aphotoeditor.com/2012/02/07/chances-are-you-suck/">ape</a>)</p>http://ptrbkr.com/post/17210349657http://ptrbkr.com/post/17210349657Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:01:00 -0500<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyzb4nAKzH1qz4l98o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Lookout Mountain, Georgia</p>http://ptrbkr.com/post/17155939688http://ptrbkr.com/post/17155939688Mon, 06 Feb 2012 11:00:21 -0500Lookout MountainGeorgiaOuthousePeeCliffMountainHillMineOriginal ContentPhotography<p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lytwzmCtAs1qz4l98.jpg"/></p>http://ptrbkr.com/post/16981961554http://ptrbkr.com/post/16981961554Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:07:03 -0500<p>Then my work here is done.</p>http://ptrbkr.com/post/16981519103http://ptrbkr.com/post/16981519103Fri, 03 Feb 2012 12:54:50 -0500<p>I’m going to imagine this is the same Anonymous that doesn’t like my photos, and assume I changed their mind with my brilliant retort.</p>http://ptrbkr.com/post/16980577539http://ptrbkr.com/post/16980577539Fri, 03 Feb 2012 12:28:30 -0500<p>Fair enough.
