    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.

    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→
