Baker Artist Portfolios

Each one chooses a locale to sit and sketch the public space as she/he/they see it.  If a person comes up to talk to them, the act of drawing ends. From that moment on, the participant can completely dedicate the time to a conversation with this person. If the sketch artist is not approached, the act of drawing continues.
 

Roger Miller has, since 1983, created and published 38 books.  What follows is a view of some of them.  You can see all of them on his website at www.rogermillerphoto.net .  He has published and sold over 190,000 copies of these books.  Roger has had forewords of his books written by President Carter, President Bush, Sr. , General Schwartzkopf  and by most of the Governors of Maryland since Governor Schaefer.  

Roger has created two of the best selling books on the Naval Academy.   Roger began working with the Naval Academy in 1983 when he began work on his Maryland book.   Over the years he became familiar  with just about everything at the Naval Academy.  He has met and photographed some of the most distinguished graduates including President Carter, General Peter Pace, Rear Admiral William C.

Roger has been privileged in the last 30 years of working with Historic Annapolis, the State of Maryland, the Naval Academy and numerous other historic sites to capture most of the historic properties in Annapolis.   Roger did most of this in a need to create some of the most complete books on the city.  Historic Annapolis has become one of  his passions.  He was awarded the Volunteer of the Year Award in 2014 by Historic Annapolis and he is a volunteer at the Naval Academy Museum.   

ANNAPOLIS SAILING - Roger has published five books on Annapolis. He created quite a large portfolio of images of  sailing  in producing these books.  Roger is not a sailor but has sailed with some of the best.  Gary Jobson, America's Cup Winning Tactician 1977, was very helpful in  editing his images for his new Annapolis book.  Most of the time he jokes that he is a hitchhiker on the bay.    How he gets on the bay does not make him any less serious about his images.  

Text provides context, translates dialogue, and creates form to the visual media, relaying an immediacy to the interactions I experience with others in shared or public spaces.  In “babyboy-bomber,” I stood out to the TSA officer perhaps in part because of my appearance (young black man) and certainly because of my behavior (drawing over a sustained period in an area subject to being targeted in terrorism). I triggered an alert, and as such I was targeted.
