Random Picture of the Week #2 – The Baker Hotel
This week’s random image was taken on a road trip to Mineral Wells, Texas back in June 2013. My wife and I took a road trip from Anna, Texas to Mineral Wells, Texas. For one of our trips we visited the abandoned Baker Hotel. Although I haven’t posted recent pictures from that part of the road trip, I have been working on processing the images and will post them as I complete each set.
So until I am ready to post more images of the Baker, here is a preview image from that set of images.

About this Image
One of my favorite places to visit is the Baker Hotel. Even as this old building lies dormant waiting for a new owner to love her as much as Mr. Baker once did, you can still see the elegance this building once was.
For this image, I shot it with a Canon EOS Rebel T1i just before dark. I then processed the image with Adobe Lightroom and post processed the image with Topaz Labs Clarity and lightened the dark colors and shadows. I then added a light vignetting to take away some of the texture from the background.
