    … I have to admit that sometimes my ideas are pure garbage and frustrating because I will spend hours trying to make an idea work, and there is simply no way to make it work and be even partially believable.

    So after scrapping two ideas, I took One out for her hunt, which tonight was short because it was too cool for her, had a delightful pot roast dinner (thank you Sus) and watched part of a soaring video that Bruno Vassel has on YouTube covering his flight from the Salt Lake City area to the Grand Canyon and return in his sailplane … roughly 500 miles round trip and he had some of the most beautiful cloud streets you have ever seen. Then a simple idea presented itself, a Water Buffalo from Out of Africa that I shot over the weekend and a shot of The Ocean Course at Half Moon Bay I took two years ago. Excellent grazing conditions and a much nicer background than at the park or in his native habitat in Africa. The new selection techniques did not work well so fell back to my normal workflow. Lack of contrast between subject and background the problem.

    If you have never been to Out of Africa, you should visit the park. It gets better each year and it is cool to share some time with other species and reconnect with something that is rewarding in a comfortable way. My favorites are the predators, but you cannot get in with them lest you become their next meal, so photo opportunities are limited … but the thrill of being in their presence is unlimited.

    Hope you had a terrific day and that you find yourself still here in the morning … breathing is such a fantastic way to start the day … then we get to live the day … doesn’t get better than that … maybe if the first idea I had, worked?

    Cheers

    Chamber Effort to Target
    Affluent Tourists Derailed

    By Tommy Acosta
    If you make less than $150,000 and thought of visiting Sedona you are not the target of a recently proposed marketing effort by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, focused on luring visitors that that are affluent. A request by the chamber for the city to release $225,000 from its marketing contingency plan to be used for destination marketing targeting people with money, was torpedoed at the Sedona City Council meeting of January 24. The chamber had hoped to use the contingency funds to bring tourists to Sedona that are well heeled and willing to spend scads of money rather than focusing marketing efforts on “day trippers” who come to the city to hike or spend little more than a day here exploring, off-roading, browsing the UpTown shops and spending little cash while clogging up the roads and making it difficult for locals to get around town.
