• Time to change the calendar

    “If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.” Albert Einstein Krahnpix is committed to changing the stodgy old calendar as a public service to the world.

Perhaps that’s why I secretly admire the camouflage of wild creatures. Of course, camouflage is also the bane of my wildlife photography. I wanted… Continue Reading
