    Sedona News – Join the Sedona Camera Club for a presentation by Sedona resident and professional photographer Bob Coates.  The meeting starts at 6 p.m. on Monday, September 26, 2022, at the Christ Lutheran Church,  25 Chapel Road, Sedona.  Doors open at 5:30.

    Bob will speak on taking your photography to a different level utilizing post-processing with Adobe Photoshop.  Coates bills himself as a Lens Based Artist due to all his source material coming through a camera lens.  “After that, all bets are off!” laughs Coates.  “It’s a virtual digital darkroom with unlimited possibilities,” he adds.  Images are blended, manipulated and color enhanced along with techniques to add depth and dimension.

    Photography is Bob’s love and passion.  He came to photography because he would take a business to a certain level and the challenge would be gone.  Bob hates being bored!  After twenty-plus years as a pro-photographer, he still finds excitement in learning new ways to push those pixels around.  He’s constantly pushing the envelope to get more depth and dimension into his imagery.  Sometimes that means testing the limits of new camera technology or pushing software beyond the uses for which it was designed.

    Bob “Specializes in not Specializing’ because he’s found that each genre of photography informs the next. For example, his experimentation in creating original digital art has been working its way into his commercial images. This gives Bob the ability to add more depth and dimension to the images he creates.

    That can really help images jump off the page, whether it be in a magazine, newspaper, collateral material, or website.  We only have a moment to capture attention in this busy, image-laden world and solid imagery helps get your message across quickly.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
