A Time to Shoot

Unquestionably, the most enjoyable part of being a stock photographer is the shooting. For a photographer there is nothing quite like planning a shoot, looking at the maps, researching the wildlife and getting the equipment ready. Sometimes a special event will bring me out, like a bike race, music festival or a big storm in … Continue reading A Time to Shoot

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

Winter 2016

Winter is flying by and spring is nearly upon us! The holiday weeks passed by so excruciatingly slowly that I was dreading the "dead of winter" weeks and months with their extreme cold and long boring hours of darkness. But thankfully it has been an eventful and rewarding two months, starting with a discussion with … Continue reading Winter 2016

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

Spring Snowshoeing

Took advantage of the big spring snowstorm to get in a snowshoe hike. If you count a Colorado winter as the months from September to May, this was almost the first year since I began snowshoeing a decade ago that I didn't go at all. I was pretty sure I was going to miss the … Continue reading Spring Snowshoeing

Spring Snow

It was about this time one year ago in a big April snowstorm while I was snowed in up in the mountains that the hospital decided to release Tricia to a nursing home following the surgery on her spine to remove the cancer in hopes that she would be able to retain the use of … Continue reading Spring Snow

Christmas 2014

Christmas Day, finally the frenzy of commercialism is behind us. The stores are all closed and most of the people are gone, gone to where ever they all go for the holidays. Christmas Day is one of my favorite days of the year for the solitude in the mountains and woods. God seems far away … Continue reading Christmas 2014

Change

The rains of last week have given way to heavy snow today. The north slope of the peak is covered with a fresh white mantle of snow and it is obvious that change is on the way. We were hoping for change on the cancer front as well as we finished our last day of … Continue reading Change

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

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
