All this new snow outside definitely has me in the holiday spirit! Of course my holiday spirit will be short lived unless I can make some money! The portrait business slows way down in winter up here in the mountains and I count on my calendars and gift items to take up the slack!
I was happy to see my fall film pictures arrived in my Dropbox yesterday from Englewood Camera! I shot this batch on my recently acquired and tested Canon EOS Elan 7, and Kodak Ektar 100 film. I chose Ektar for it's' fine grain and brilliant color and contrast. Some say Ektar Color negative film rivals the amazing quality of Kodak Ektachrome slide film.
After seeing a lot of posts following the election, I thought it might be a good time to add my thoughts on how to become a change agent in the new government.
Well unfortunately my article Silver Lining should have been entitled Dark Cloud. Early voting indicated that Colorado voters had passed ballot measure 127, which would have banned the hunting and trapping of wild cats, including our beautiful bobcats and endangered lynx.
Last night Colorado provided the silver lining proving that the forces of good and compassion for our four footed friends can prevail. Last night the Mountain State passed it's ballot initiative banning the hunting and trapping of big cats. California has already banned fur trapping, and with enough work and education perhaps it will be possible to implement a national trapping ban like over 100 civilized countries through the world have already done.
I am pleased to announce that my new wildlife novel, Thundering Hooves (Spirit of the West) is now available for purchase at Barnes and Noble, among other well known outlets!
It was quite a day in Waterton Canyon yesterday with a few battling bighorns, but mostly just a normal active day along the South Platte River this time of year.
It's been awhile since I have taken a good look at how my wall art gallery is presented, so I thought I'd do a little sprucing up for the holidays. Wall art makes for a great gift, but it's not the only gift my site offers. A beautiful image from my library can be ordered on a wide variety of gift items offered on the site. Click any image, such as this beautiful picture of the wild horses of the Colorado Sand Wash Basin to see all the products that can be ordered!
I've been getting a lot of inquiries asking what an S.W. Krull Imaging Personal Branding Session would entail. So I thought I would put together this little post describing how a typical session is done.
Summer is over and the mornings are getting colder. Frost and a cold wind on my favorite trail seem to be driving away the early morning tourists and there is a sign of hope. It seems that the deer are returning to their normal habit of drinking from the creek and watering hole at night, and making the climb over the mountain at dawn.
