In honor of joining the gallery at the Sedona Arts Center in Sedona, Arizona, I decided I really should make a tintype of a Sedona-area landmark. It’s challenging to find typical Sedona scenes that don’t require hiking, which with a dark box, chemicals, camera, tripod, and water is not trivial, but after quite a bit of planning and scouting I found a nice spot on a rock right in the middle of Oak Creek.

A framed print of this tintype, as well as several others, are on view in the Sedona Arts Center’s gallery on the northeast edge of town heading up Oak Creek Canyon.
