Gil Maker Photos

Starting on January 6, I will be having a new show at the First Unitarian Church.  Don Menges and George Wallace are also displaying work.  I hope some of you will stop by.

I really enjoy using the camera in the iPhone 4S.  I use the following apps for my images:

ProCamera, TiltshiftGen, DerManDar (for panorama’s) and Hipstamatic.

I have added a new page to display some of the images I have taken with the iPhone.  The page is called iPhone Images (really original).  Hope you enjoy them.

I have added a new body of work to my web site.  It is called Baseball Fields .  Baseball has been a part of my life since I was 6 years old.  I played baseball every weekend when I was a kid, until I graduated from college.  The images included in this portfolio come from ball fields in Rochester, New York and Maine.  I hope you enjoy  this work.

This is new for me.  I have taken my first architectural images.  These images are of Clover Lanes, on Monroe Avenue.  I think they came out very well.  Go to the new Clover Lane page to check them out.  And try out the bowling alleys.  Clover Lanes is a great place to have fun.

The Arts & Cultural Council for Greater Rochester launched its first juried artist member exhibition  July 7th. This event is designed to showcase the high–quality work of the Council’s artist members.  Two landscape pieces of mine were selected for the show. Both are from Iceland.

I hope you will come out to the show.  For more information:

Wednesday, June 15th is the opening of our new show at the gallery.  I am showing four B&W prints made on Sugar Cane paper.  Below is a preview.   Hope to see you at the gallery.

I am trying to take my photography to another level.  I want to go beyond the individual image,  to “see” in groups of images, to  tell a story.  The images in this post try to do that.  The 22 images make up a story I call “10 Minutes Irondequoit Bay, Monday, May 23″.  Go to the Irondequoit Page to check the series out.  The images look like old fashion snapshots. Drop a comment to let me know what you think.

Yesterday we went to the opening of the Lilac Festival  A very nice day for walking around and trying out a new app, called Hipstamatic.  Here are some results.

This has been a busy week.  Took down the Canandaiqua show, put up the show at Equal=Grounds and tried working on some new images.  The images come from a barn on Route 64.  Here is a musical look at a few.
