Andrew Baker // Northwest Arkansas Headshots

January 6, 2010

Alright I am so excited to share this cool guy with you!!! Andrew Baker (linked to his website) is probably on my top 10 list of the coolest people I know! I met up with him yesterday at Starbucks so we could chit chat and figure out what he was looking for from a photographer. Today we went out (yep in the freezing cold weather) and did some shooting. It was kind of him to buy me a hot cocoa but one just didn’t cut it, toward the end, during his last outfit change I had to run back in and purchase another…..thank you Common Grounds!!!! :) So why is this guy so cool? First off he reminds me of a younger version of that Six Flags guy (I hope it’s ok that I said this in a blog considering I’ve already told him face to face, even though I almost got fired on the spot). He’s so funny and sporadic! I loved having the experience of shooting someone that is totally confident in themselves and wasn’t afraid to suggest ideas and act a bit silly, ok that’s an exaggeration, a whole lotta silly! This guy went to college I think like four times bouncing back and forth between majors and finally tried out the “drama” department (I have to mention he was only a drama major for one semester!) only to have a professor pull him aside and advise him to quit school and go for it!!!! I wish someone would have told me that instead of watching me waste years and lots of money to find out I wanted to be a photographer rather than a Dietitian! So now he works on cruise ships performing. He stalked his current girlfriend Molly by noticing her name on her personal info sheet at the gym. He was in a short film called “Ship Happens” that you can find on YouTube. He played a one armed character (I really can’t remember this characters name sorry!) and apparently ruled the film. He told me to go find it and if I didn’t watch any of it to be sure to watch parts 1 and parts 6 (apparently part 6 is the best). One of the best things about Andrew here is that he inspired me to continue on my 365 day quest. I know some of you are now rolling your eyes……..she’s going to start this again? You know what, YES I am!!! I was reminded of the idea that it wasn’t about the pictures it was about the project, obviously I know this, but I think somewhere along the lines I forgot. So now I’m off to start the project again! I figured if I have a goal to blog everyday that will make it twice as easy to post a simple picture everyday too, right!?!? So I’ll start with a headshot/self-portrait for today.
