Diffusion Photo Retrospective Jeffrey Baker
It's funny where the casual phone call can land you. Five years ago fellow OCAC alum Blue Mitchell gave me a ring to ask if I'd be interviewed for a new venture he was starting. When I asked him about the project I was, I'll be frank, stunned. Blue wanted to start a magazine about alternative photography. A magazine. On paper. Printed in full color. A magazine that was taking for its theme one of (at the time) the most misunderstood areas of fine art photography (which, naturally, is where I'd put most of my energy for years). 

Long story short I was thrilled to be a part of the first issue of Diffusion, which has grown to have a significant following, and I am perpetually grateful to Blue for his enthusiasm, dedication and incredible networking skills. He's done quite a bit to shape a continuing dialogue about what constitutes a photograph, and has generated a real community of creatives who might not have found each other without Diffusion.

This Friday night is the opening of an exhibit at the rightly esteemed VERVE Gallery of Photography in Santa Fe, where I am part of a group of alternative photographers who have been featured in Diffusion over the past five years. It is an honor to have selections from my SUBJECTIVE series included and I'm looking forward to meeting others whose images I have so admired over the years. If you're in Santa Fe then you should stop by between 5-7pm and then, on Saturday, you should return to hear a presentation at 2pm by Blue on Diffusion's growth. I hope to see you there!

For those interested in reading my initial interview in Diffusion, Issue 1 a second edition reprint is now available.

Additionally, I wrote an article in Diffusion, Issue 4 titled Transient Reflections and Fixed Impressions: Thoughts on the Physical Photograph in a Digital Age which explores the importance of the photograph as a physical object; wandering from reflections on Talbot, the Smithsonian, historical happenstance and Vera Lutter.
