Balance

Working on the right life / work balance... I'm finding that four nights on the loading dock and a 14er on the weekend may be just a little bit much for my chronologically challenged body ... So I asked my boss to cut me back to three loading dock marathons per week and thankfully it … Continue reading Balance

No Unfriendlies at 14,000 feet

I think I've discovered an axiom, there are no unfriendly people at 14,000 feet of elevation. I've never encountered one anyway! Perhaps it is because life's problems can't survive the thin air there, they melt away when the summit comes into view. Well anyway, I have summit fever again this week and am preparing for … Continue reading No Unfriendlies at 14,000 feet

Wrong Horse

We all try to make the best decisions possible with the information we have at the time. Unfortunately we can't always read the future and sometimes we make a bad choice. This is one of those times for me. I believed the information I was receiving and went with it by investing my images heavily … Continue reading Wrong Horse

Life’s a Beach

The nightmare week of snow is finally over with, the sun is shining and it appears spring may be trying to make a comeback. I have to say, it was not a pleasant week, the snow was wet and sticky, horrible for snowshoes or ice trekkers. The colors were too dull and gray for anything … Continue reading Life’s a Beach

Small Accomplishment

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

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

Fox and Deer

Interesting how things work. For weeks I have been seeing deer in the little woods on the way to the coffee shop and the day I decide to start bringing the camera along the deer disappear. Undaunted, I have been taking the camera along faithfully as I push the wheelchair on our errands. It finally … Continue reading Fox and Deer
