The images are intelligent and arresting, reflecting time spent both inside and outside the bubble of backstages and tour buses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile touring is easily glamorised, all travelling musicians know that twenty-two hours of every day lack the lights, glitter, and other rock-and-roll trappings. For Baker, some of that time is spent photographing what interests him most in his surroundings. As revealed in \u003cem\u003eThe Road\u003c\/em\u003e, his fascinations range from bizarre highway signage; to unsettling figurines, mannequins, and statuettes; to religious iconography that carries extra weight when one considers the ethos of a band called Bad Religion; to steaming cups of espresso and classic diner meals; to guitars, guitars, and more guitars; and so much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Road\u003c\/em\u003e is designed in collaboration with award-winning photographer and curator Jennifer Sakai.
