Looking ahead is always good, new plans and dreams require planning and optimism and you can't go wrong with these traits and activities. However, sometimes there is much to be gained by looking back as well. There are lessons learned, failures to digest, victories to build upon, accomplishments to relish and seemingly insurmountable obstacles overcome. … Continue reading Happy New Year 2016

Coincidence
Going through the nearly 8,000 images I captured over the summer and fall making sure I have all the editorial photographs uploaded to iStock for the big transfer to Getty Images that is supposed to occur sometime shortly after the first of the year. One of my major photography goals for the summer was to … Continue reading Coincidence
Four Thousand
Last March three thousand images in my iStock / Getty was my goal for 2015. I was hoping I could make it to the whitewater festival in Salida and maybe even the Garden of the Gods 10 mile run. Much to my surprise my summer was far more fruitful than that. There were sports events, … Continue reading Four Thousand
Sorting Out
Up until now I have tried to manage all my photography endeavors under one hat. However it has come to my attention that there is just too much traffic on my one main facebook page, S. W. Krull Imaging. I have wildlife advocacy posts there, stock photography, wedding photography, portrait photography, model photography, sports and … Continue reading Sorting Out
Slight Course Change
Well that didn't work... my evanescent attempt at writing for someone else. My job as a college sports writer did not go well. Assignments and deadlines were given, files opened and a blank screen appeared before me awaiting my clever words. But the words did not come. Three days I stared at the whiteness without … Continue reading Slight Course Change
Nocturnal and First Snow
Two o'clock a.m. and I'm wide awake, too awake to sleep and too tired to do anything constructive. Starting to wonder if I'm becoming nocturnal! I hope not, hiking at night would be a real bummer! Guess I'll write a blog. Nothing like throwing a bunch of random thoughts onto the virtual paper to bring … Continue reading Nocturnal and First Snow
Photoshop
So I'm sitting around a few days ago thinking, "Man, it's a long way to pay day.". So the gears started turning and I was wondering what I could do get some regular income flowing in while I sit on pins and needles hoping for stock and prints to sell. That's when I got the … Continue reading Photoshop
Changing Seasons
So I put the COMPLETE stamp on summer by finishing my Intemann Trail article for the Examiner. It was quite an adventure that took pretty much all summer, starting with a two and a half hour "short cut" from Red Rock Canyon over to Manitou Springs in quest of my press pass for the Pikes … Continue reading Changing Seasons
Getting High
Been a busy week getting high... high on elevation that is 🙂 The week started last Friday with a six mile hike through the rugged hills of Section 16 in Colorado Springs with the Pikes Peak Adventures Meetup Group. The trail was great as were occasional views of Red Rock Canyon and the mountains of … Continue reading Getting High
Bierstadt
I have been wanting to get up to Georgetown and Guanella Pass to hike Bierstadt since being reminded of it on 14ers.com. Twenty years has passed by since I have climbed a 14er for real and I didn't want another year to slip by without feeling the exhilaration of a summit. I knew the pass … Continue reading Bierstadt
