Jeff Baker (VisionsbyBaker)  > Other > Directions
As many say, pictures are worth 1000 words... And sometimes those words are not good ones when it comes to bad directions! I hope this will prevent any fustratations when it is time to visit our studio and gallery. If you are coming from the West, start here on page ONE. If you are coming from the East, please start on page TWO. If you are already in Worcester, start on page THREE. Please remember that sessions and gallery tours are by appointment only, but I welcome you to call any time to confirm our schedule. Thank you and we're looking forword to visiting with you.
