I remember reading with dread a couple years ago that Adobe was entering the stock image business with it's own collection that would be accessible directly from Lightroom. Dang I thought, that is really going to take a bite out of iStock's business. At the time I was an exclusive artist there with no possibility … Continue reading The Good, the Bad and the New

Hiking Mount Massive
The 14,421 foot summit of Mount Massive Colorado was the latest peak to be checked off as done in Ralph's quest to climb all the 14ers in the state of Colorado.

Dog Days of Summer
Now begins the long hot stretch of summer following the 4th of July that flies by with disappointing rapidity.

Just knowing that the days are getting shorter, however imperceptible, adds a bit of melancholy to my spirit. But there is still … Continue reading Summer Solstice
Snowy Trio
Today is starting out to be an exciting day at S. W. Krull Imaging. I awoke to discover that my image Snowy Trio sold it's second extended license early this morning from my stock portfolio on iStock / Getty. That means someone purchased extended printing rights for the image, usually for a calendar or postcard, … Continue reading Snowy Trio
Quiet Time

All the medical crisis we have encountered in 2014 have drained my strength and my creativity leaving me bereft of ideas for Examiner articles. I have struggled to come up with enough ideas this year to meet my one article a month minimum. However … Continue reading Quiet Time
Easter
The higher I climb the closer I feel to God, so on Easter morning it seemed appropriate to make my highest climb of the spring. With first light I could see from home that the peak was going to be magnificent so I gathered up my equipment and headed out the door. The sun hadn't … Continue reading Easter
April Snow
It must be something I have carried forward from my childhood. Whenever it snows I just have to get out in it. I believe the love for snow may have been passed down from my father as well. I remember during the worst blizzards Dad would make the anticipated announcement, "We're going to get milk.". … Continue reading April Snow
