    logo_sedonacameraclubSedona AZ (October 2, 2018) – Professional photographer Nick Berezenko will present “From Wilderness to Roadkill:  40 Years of Photographing for Arizona Highways Magazine” at the meeting of the Sedona Camera Club starting at 6 p.m. on Monday, October 29th, at the Christ Lutheran Church, 25 Chapel Rd, Sedona.  Doors open at 5:30.

    Recapitulating his career from when he had his first pictures published in Arizona Highways (from 35mm slides) to how he learned to shoot landscapes with the 4×5 large format camera to the current use of digital, Nick offers a perspective on what the magazine is looking for in a good landscape picture—and how to achieve it.  From the basic rules of composition to the “looming” effect of manipulations with the 4×5 camera—which can now be reproduced in Photoshop—Nick examines the particular “style” of Arizona Highways magazine. What it’s been over the years—and how it’s changing in the internet age.

    Nick Berezenko, of Pine, Arizona, has done many things in his life. He’s been a Park Ranger at the Grand Canyon and Pt. Reyes National Seashore; a Forest Lookout in the White Mountains; a newspaper reporter in Payson, Prescott and the Verde Valley; a Shakespearean actor in Cleveland, San Francisco, Colorado and Idaho; and has a degree in Cultural Anthropology from ASU.  “But nothing,” says Nick, “has given me as much joy and satisfaction as photographing Arizona’s natural wonders for a living.”

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa
    By Tommy Acosta

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians. In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
