Megan Baker's Blurbs |
About me:
Copy and Paste this into your profile!
In 1991, while most artists were off at college getting degrees, Megan Baker was still living in her mother’s uterus. Then one fateful night in a Bloomington, IL hospital, she escaped...
She wasn’t born into a family of photographers, and her mother is incapable of figuring out how to turn on a camera. Where she got the knack for photography remains a mystery. The love of it started around the age of four, when Megan picked up the family Polaroid and began documenting the eventful lives of her toys. After that, she started taking pictures of nature and her pets, which were dressed in human clothing, against their will. Megan joined 4-H at age 9, and used it as an outlet for her work. In the first year, she won both county and state photography competitions, including ‘Best of the Best’ Illinois State Awards. That continued until age 13, when Megan lost for the first time. Being a sore loser, Megan ran around the backyard with a rubber mallet and hit things. Her parents did not sign her up for 4-H the following year. But by then she was already making the money from print sales and weddings.
Then in 2004, after becoming a large Gavin DeGraw fan in 2003, Megan took up concert photography, which she still continues to do. During her concert escapades, listening to the "rock music of the devil" she was kicked out of her Christian school of seven years for being a think for herself-er, and probably fear that her demon possession that filed her with liberal opinions may be contagious.
Megan began schooling herself in late 2005. Her parents began to get concerned after she generally became a recluse and stopped witnessing the light of day. They signed her up for a local photography class, hoping she would find friends. It was then that she came across an abandoned house. She was very intrigued by it, and the obsession began. Road trips were taken to small towns that had experienced an economic downfall in 2006. Because of movies like The Hills Have Eyes, most trips went like this: “Megan, do you want to get out and take pictures?” “Uhh nooo, I’m scared… oh my god, that cat has no tail! Genetically modified cat! Genetically modified cat! We must get out of here!” Regardless of her fears, photos were still taken and a series of photographs called ‘Decampment’ was created.
In 2007, Megan took time to work on music photography and her school work. She graduated in 2008 at age 16, and realized her love for road tripping among the U.S. back roads was far too strong and once again began traveling to small towns. She is currently working on her new series, “Little Boxes”
