By Mary Cravets, Business Coach & Speaker Sedona AZ (February 13, 2015) – Today I was frozen. Panicky. I didn’t want to start anything or work on anything. I couldn’t focus and my creativity was at zero. I was in pure urgent mode, waiting for the next emergency.

By Ted Grussing Every once in a while it is fun to shoot the Sedona Airport (KSEZ) from different angles always looking for a fresh perspective … and another sale to the Airport … quite a few of my shots grace offices and the terminal building. The magnetic lineup of the runway is 032 and 212 in reality , and like all runways the numbers are the magnetic alignment rounded to the nearest ten degree number; thus if you land to the N on runway 3 you are landing on a heading of 030 on the compass rose which is…

By Ted Grussing This was a truly fun day … gem cutting and other stuff this morning … some photo work and late afternoon it was up to the airport. Purpose? None really needed, but I wanted to give my new GoPro a try and also take my friend Doug up for some great aerial photography opportunities. Doug got a lot of great shots and the GoPro performed very well and not having read the instructions yet I feel pretty good about that. I mounted the GoPro on the turtle deck on centerline just behind and between us and pretty…

By Ted Grussing … I spent a few hours this evening watching “Cosmos” and thought, darn, I need to do another astro composite tonight. I searched and searched, tried numerous combinations and nothing seemed to have the feel or look that I wanted and all ended up in the bit bucket. Then I remembered some shots I took when I was back in California last summer and in particular a new tunnel on Hwy 1 up the coast from Half Moon Bay … think it opens to the southern end of Pacifica.
