The Ojai Photography Club welcomes Ojai based photographer David Baker to their October 15 meeting. The program begins at 7:00 PM, at Kent Hall, located at Help of Ojai’s Little House, 111 Santa Ana Street, in Ojai.

Baker will lead the group in an interactive discussion regarding “The Ever Changing World of Photography.” He will examine the changes he has seen in photography since the digital revolution of the 1970’s.

Baker is internationally known for his creative web site and graphic designs. He is best known in the United States as the designer of web sites for the 1995 Academy Awards, Super Bowl XXX, Microsoft Windows NT site, and the California State Legislature.

In the early 1970s, after seven years as a deputy sheriff for the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department, Baker worked as a professional photographer for the Monterey Park Progress newspaper. In 1980 he left the photography profession to become a successful software engineer and graphic designer.

He was founder and President of Real Time Computer Science, the first firm to install Intel’s iRMX Multitasking opening system on the IBM Personal Computer. Later, he founded Beverly Hills Software, an internationally known web site design firm. He has served as Director of Development for Symantec/Peter Norton and as Computer Architecture Specialist at Intel Corporation.

In 1998 Baker relocated to Ojai, California, and rekindled his lifelong passion for photography. Then In 2004 he took a four-month assignment in Arkansas to modify a web site for the RV industry. That assignment turned into five new web sites taking five years to complete. Now back in Ojai, he is semi-retired and enjoys doing photography his way. He was recently selected as new chair of the Photography Branch at the Ojai Art Center, where he taught photography ten years ago.
