Two Immutable Lifestyle Constants – Hiking and Photography

Sangre de Cristo Range

Perhaps I can find a way to inspire others to hit the trail or the track. Perhaps my wealth of knowledge of the outdoors and sports gear will help someone to adopt an active lifestyle. So watch for my posts to take a new direction with more emphasis on the outdoor activities aspect of my adventures!

Major Weather Miscalculation

Snow in the Mining District

As I sat in my chair with the doggies and drank my morning coffee, I checked the weather and decided to go out and shoot a video on a subject I've been kicking around. And that subject is shooting monochrome pictures with a mirrorless digital camera.

One of my goals for 2025 is to provide a monthly newsletter to communicate important developments at both S.W. Krull Imaging, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and the U.S. Parks service. Programs that I will be watching closely this year include, the Colorado wolf reintroduction program, species protected under the Endangered Species Act, and the important news affecting our national and state parks.

My Year in Colorado: Wildlife Photography Recap

A new year is almost upon us and it seems like a good time to take a look back at 2024, one year in the life of a photographer. Join me in this post as I review a year of pictures in the rugged mountains of Colorado.

Snowshoeing a Rocky Mountain Blizzard

It was a perfect day to get out and go snowshoeing in a beautiful Rocky Mountain blizzard. It had snowed several inches the night before but the storm had subsided a bit and the plows had time to clear the streets and the highway to the trailhead.

Elk Herd on Snowy Mountain

I've received a few inquiries this holiday season about how to easily find winter pictures with scenes suitable for your annual Christmas card giving. So I've created a special gallery dedicated solely to the Rocky Mountain Winter.

Wildlife Update

Photographer Profile Steve Krull

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.

A Silver Lining for Wildlife

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.
