“Bobby Baker is one of New England’s best coastal photographers. His artistry really shines as he uses the limitations of black and white photography to shoot shadow and light with lasting emotional resonance.”
Providence Journal
A Note from BB

It seems like an eon ago that Dena and I attended the January opening reception for my artwork at the Cape Cod Maritime Museum. It also seems like quite awhile ago that I was excitedly working on getting our gallery ready for it's annual spring opening…only to not open in the summer that wasn't. And now Labor Day is upon us. Time flies when you're locked down in Massachusetts :-)

Yes, the virus has greatly affected us all. Obviously, I am not happy with our gallery losing the summer season, and I feel absolutely terrible seeing so many art galleries, museums, and other art institutions on the brink of extinction, laying off staff and reducing operating hours, however if you look around there are signs of some good news out there!

I am very happy to announce that the Cape Cod Maritime Museum is once again OPEN! Days/Hours of operations are still limited, but Open is OPEN! Very cool! If you are in Hyannis, or plan to be, check out this museum, not only because my work is on exhibit, but to take in the very interesting nautical and boat building history of the Cape. Be sure to ask to see Museum Curator Don Stucke, who is a wealth of nautical history information, and welcome the museum’s new Executive Director, Elizabeth York. Details on the BB exhibit, museum hours, Covid-19 protocols, and links to buy tickets, are all included below in this newsletter.

Have a great month…and let's keep summer going a bit longer!!!

Auto Show Time of Year
Normally at this time of year, we would be getting ready to for the annual Cataumet Schoolhouse Antique Auto Show, but...of course, like everything else here in Massachusetts, it's canceled! However, for you auto-fans, here's a link to the Auto-ART Portfolio which includes some pieces from the Cataumet show of years before.
Commission Your Unique Piece Of Cape Cod Art
If you have a special place, or thing, on Cape Cod that you would like to have in your home as a piece of ART, consider a commissioned piece of Bobby Baker Photographic Art. In most cases, Bobby can visit the Cape location, create, and print the piece, within a day or two. (Allow 3-4 weeks for custom framing, if desired)  
If you are looking for something beyond the abundant souvenir Cape Cod note-card, calendar, or stock images found everywhere on the Cape, consider commissioning something special - ART - to display in your home or office!
   
Whether rendered in the style of Bobby's award winning iconic black & white work, or his stunning captures of the Cape's lush light and colors, you are sure to have something very special with a BB created piece of ART!
   
Call (617.901.7808) or Email [email protected] to discuss the creation of your special, uniquely yours, Cape Cod photographic ART.
