• Grousing about baseball

    Baseball, photography and grouse have a lot in common. Yes, initially that surprised me too but then I used to play ball. The strongest memory from my playing days happened during a tight game in the neighbouring town. The opposing pitcher was throwing some scary fast balls and our team was striking out. Eventually it was my turn… Continue Reading

  • Pity the optimists

    I had big dreams of capturing amazing photos of a fox, lynx, owl and bugling elk. Why not?

Of course everyone intuitively understands our current calendars are seriously flawed. What’s with leap years, random number of days in a month and… Continue Reading

  • Babies hacked my blog?

    Babies? Cute photos? Tender moments? Has Krahnpix been hacked? Well um perhaps. Or maybe I’m taking a temporary detour. Don’t worry. The predators, rougher edges and brassy humour haven’t been totally abandoned. It’s just that I got seriously sidetracked by babies two weeks ago. No that is not a misprint. Everywhere we went in Jasper National Park, the newer… Continue Reading
