    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.”

    Nick’s commercial clients include Arizona Public Service, Arizona State University, the Morrison Institute, the Anasazi Foundation, Safeway Corporation, Madden Media, artstudio101, and the Arizona Office of Tourism.

    Nick lives in a log cabin in Pine with his inamorata Su von Mazo, who’s also a gifted photographer, artist and tribal belly dancer.

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
