Bronze wildlife sculptor and gallery owner Ken Rowe will tell you that nine times out of 10, he’s sculpting in front of a real-life model, whether it’s a mountain lion or a mouse. But with the romance of sculpting wildlife comes the uncertainty of working with an unpredictable animal. Take, for instance, the gray wolf Ken tried to sculpt in front of an audience a few years ago. The crowd was in awe, but the wolf was shy. So shy, in fact, that as soon as he came out of his kennel, he made a beeline for a nearby vehicle…

By Tommy Acosta Sedna, AZ –Predictably, the Sedona City Council at its September 12 meeting, failed to arrive at any consensus or take action on a possible Off Highway Vehicle Volunteer Agreement or the resurrection of a proposed ordinance regulating such vehicles on city streets. Obviously, without the threat of perceived “unsafe” OHVs being banned on city streets hanging over their heads, there is no longer impetus for these companies to volunteer to any city-imposed restrictions or requirements. We should not be surprised that with that cat out of the bag, the volunteer OHV companies will simply now pull out.…

… spent some time going through a shoot at Lake Pleasant on the 25th of May this year … found a lot of shots of great blue herons that I like and here are a couple of them. The direction and angle with which light hits the birds makes a huge difference in what color the bird appears to be and the saturation of the color. In the shot above the great blue heron is just lifting off from the water he had landed in, and we have the lighting coming from mostly a high angle and there is very…
