    … over the weekend I brought a couple of images over to my friend Guy to make prints for me … he was displaying at the art fair at the outlets in the Village and he had one of the most beautiful land based photos I have seen of the entry to Red Rock Country and Sedona from the land … and I asked him if I could use it in an email and he said yes. I have the same view as this, but from about 500 hundred feet higher than this. The photo shows the stacking effect you get when looking from the south to north into Sedona and the incredible  depth of field. The Village of Oak Creek is below the image and not shown. The image ratio is 3 x 1, so a 10 x 30 or a 20 x 60 are examples of finished size.

    Normally I do not showcase other photographers work, but Guy is a good friend and I just love this photograph. Buy one, he owes me a cheeseburger for each one he sells 🙂

    From the left in the foreground you have Castle Rock, Bell Rock and Courthouse Rocks … in the upper right a piece of Lees Mountain. Close to the middle and against the green of the plateau are the Mittens … just behind and above Bell Rock is the Chapel of the Holy Cross and the mountain on the left is Wilson Mountain. If you have an interest in acquiring  this photo for your collection you may contact Guy at:  guy.schmickle@gmail.com . Guy is one of the best landscape photographers I know and a number of years ago he decided to chuck his life as a programmer and devote his life to pursuing his dream as a professional landscape photographer … and he is living and enjoying the dream … his work shows it too. Everyone can live their dream if they decide to … you just have to take the first step and accept the risks … work incredible hours and believe in yourself.

    So, since I did tonight with Guy’s photo, I’ll be sending out an extra one this week … have a beautiful day, smile and keep breathing … receive the blessings of the day and share them with others.

    Smiling,

    Ted

    Give me to gladly go my way and say
    No word of mine own woe;  But let me smile each day.
     
    Give me the strength to do my task, I ask,
    And that I shall not rue the toilers grimy mask.
     
    Give one loved hand to me, and leave the eve
    All undisturbed as we our strength of souls retrieve.
     
    And lastly give sweet sleep, closed sight, no fright
    That fears will o’er me creep; and now a last goodnight.

    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.
