We are welcoming our latest guest Blogger to you all. Giving us a perspective of the history of the Great Southwest through photographic creativity:

Sedona Olde Time Photos and Sedona Photo

    Dawn and Randy Gould purchased the "Old Time Photo" studio in November of 2013. The business was renamed Sedona Olde Time Photos. The studio has three sets; a saloon, a parlor and a bath tub along with many costumes and props. The studio is located upstairs at 271 North State Route 89A right in the heart of Uptown Sedona.

    Dawn and Randy also own Sedona Photo, which prints photos and sells the historic; Bradshaw Photo Collection. Bob Bradshaw was considered one of Sedona's most respected and gifted photographers especially in the early days of Sedona's history. The Bradshaw Photo Collection includes images of early Sedona and stills from some the many Western movies made here. Sedona Photo prints using a wet processor and also prints large format images up to 42 inches! 

    Randy was born in Wichita, KS but soon moved to Los Angeles, CA. He then moved to Flagstaff, AZ where he remained for over 40 years. Randy worked as a service technician repairing office equipment. After 36 years with the same company, he was given an opportunity to move to Sedona and became a jeep tour driver, which he loves doing to this day.

    Dawn was born in Pontiac, MI and moved to Las Vegas, NV. Her first career was working as a stagehand in Las Vegas. Then Dawn became an optician. Shortly after Dawn and Randy met, Dawn moved to Flagstaff and they got married. In Flagstaff, she continued to work as an optician until their son was born. Then she went back to school for a teaching degree and taught Special Education for several years in Flagstaff, Sedona and Cottonwood. Currently, Dawn manages and works full time in The Olde Time Photo studio.

Please join us in welcoming both Randy and Dawn as they provide us with a unique way to see the history of Sedona.
