About Me

My photo
Ignacio, Colorado, United States
I have several people I look up to as a young freelancer. First, Jeremy Wade Shockley, when I first met him I didn't really expect much. But as time went on I got to work with him during the summer as an intern. I really saw what he's accomplished over his years as a Freelancer. I admire his work and his perspective on life. I would like to thank him for continuing to show me the way of the camera and to show everyone that a picture you take is never boring, the way you take it will always be your way you look at it. Second, Ace Styker, he's been working with the Tribe for almost a year. His stories that tell every event or thing that goes on in the tribe is truly inspirering to me. His way of writing and the way he tought me during my work time at The Drum has really inspirered me to continue writing short stories without giving a crap of what anyone says. I hope he allows himself to continue to accomplish the greater things in life! Last but not least I would like to thank my family for always being there for me no matter what happens around or with us, We will always allow ourselves to grow from eachothers problems.

Photographs Copyrighted Krista Richards


Theres no doubt that my young nephew is following in my footsteps. Only at the age of nine, he's becoming more and more of a professional at archery everytime he practices by myside. He competes in most of the Tourneys as me. He is starting his collection of trophies, plaques, and medals and i'm greatful to say this with great pride. I love him and I hope he continues to be successful not only in Sports but in Academics as well!!

All Photographs Copyrighted Krista Richards
All of these pictures are just some of the pictures I wanted to post. Although I took 305 photos, 56 of them turned out pretty decent. The powwow had a great turn out as though I may have heard around the room. Many veterans from all three Ute tribes-Northern, Southern, Ute Mountain..we are all one no matter what ethnic group you come from. I thank you for serving to fight for our freedom. Hope ya'll enjoy the pictures and let me know what you think(feedback).

Oklahoma Adventures!

When i'm gone away from home, I didn't really imagine taking pictures of things i've seen my whole life..but since I've gotten a new addition, the Nikon D90, it takes my travels to a whole new adventure. Ever since the beginnin of this summer I started to get more interested with the whole camera concept. I imagined me not doing it at all, just sticking with what I knew..I'm glad I did, I wish I could have gotten the camera a lot sooner though. Lots and Lots of photo opportunites out there..
Downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. November 3, 2010. Great weather, I was suprised to get a good/alright picture of it. I know i'll miss seeing this when I head back home to Colorado soon.

Where my grandma's sit...they hardly come outside due to the weather changing and the fact that they can't hardly get around as much anymore. Empty chairs wait for the spring weather to come next year, hopefully I'll get the a chance to come back down then..


Trees are still full of life, autumn hasn't fully reached the Oklahoman plains just quite yet..


A lonley bridge where my sister stands, a lonley creek, both are ways to cross over to a playground where I used to play every summer when I would visit good ol' El Reno, Oklahoma..Family around, sit and talk while the children would go and play in the Oklahoma weather..nice cool breeze, wind rustling the leaves while the light sound of car engines and honks...boy, how I miss my younger years..

Last but not least, Lake El Reno..it's been around 10 or less years since i've really been back here. I don't quite remember much but it was good to sit and watch the wind put the water and trees around..oh how i'll miss going home..
