Submitted by Double Negative on March 5, 2014 - 8:56am

We humbly apologize for being a bit behind on our Exposure posts (we've been busy building a new La Vida Leica server!). So without further ado, we present this week's Exposure photographer... Dan Baker! Dan is a freelance and wedding photographer from Lincolnshire UK.

You can catch up with him on his blog, Facebook, and on Twitter!
