Sedona, Arizona ~ Phase 2

Friday, March 19, 2010 Posted in Beauty, Black Raven, Nature, Portraits, Zen

I went Back to Sedona. AZ for further writing and recording on the new Black Raven C.D. entitled “Native Knight” While there i was Blessed with this beautiful Landscape to capture. It is a vortex I’m standing in. I loved the energy and the Remarkable imagery… wow thank you Lord Almighty Jesus Christ!

Sedona Skys Vortex 1

I love Mother Earth !!!!

This was a Church Built right into this Amazing Mountain… The Energy here was Heaven. I lit candles for my Dad & Mom and family and even lit a candle for all humanity! Peace and Love everyone!

Thank You Lord Jesus Christ!

I happened to notice this Beautiful Portrait of and in real Life… I set up my camera and Ba Boom… Instantly captured this image full of Energy!

On my last hike in Sedona, Arizona...Beautiful!

I shot this one from a Vortex I just happened to run into … I ended up on a medicine wheel at the highest peak of the mountain… I set up and prayed and then shot some amazing pic.s which I’m happy to share. Blessings everyone!

Sedona Skys are ever changing and awe-inspiring. Beautiful!

And More Amazing Sedona Skys!!!! We are Blessed!

Exhilarating, Rejuvenated and Healing!

And the Final one for this set. Hope you can feel the amzing energy I experienced in Beuatiful Sedona Arizona… I look forward to sharing it with my family soon!

Let the Sunshine in..... mmmmm mmmmm good

Sedona, Arizona I Love You!

Armored Saint had the honor and pleasure of recording “Our Best Record” to date “La Raza”, at Tranzformer Studios, in Burbank, Ca. I had so much fun not only laying down the best performance of my life, on the drums, I also was allowed to use my mobile photography studio gear and set up there taking amazing shots of the making of Armored Saint “La Raza” which you will be able to see the art/images soon. I dedicate my performance to My late father Jesus Sandoval Ramos, RIP, David Prichard, Dimebag Darrel, John Bonham, Cliff Burton, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix and my friends Rone Bear Avila, and Andy Waterlond… all family, friends and fellow musicians that have moved on to the next level of existence in Heaven! Namaste~ Here are some images of the best Producer/Engineer/Studio owner and friend on this planet. Enjoy!
