Karen your work is brilliant. I especially enjoy the bike riding clip to Digitalism, Pogo (I am an advid biker and love Digitalism) It looks like you have graduated already, but do you ever do any work for bands? Are you still in the GR area?

Thanks

Hello!

Just got back home from work... had a look at some of your work and I think you're a good photographer. Nice colours, good levels, saturation and all... you know calibration... And of course, now I wanna know which cameras you're using!?

Well, gotta go to bed. See you! Cheers!

Aww you are wonderful, dear!

I'm so glad I got to run into you at Calvin. I thought the Festival was every year so I was hoping to go next year, but I guess I'll have to wait :P Either way though we must definitely hang out!!! And go on photo and film adventures. Wohoo!

p.s.
Where are you living now? Are you in Michigan? or Cali?

Hello Karen,

More good news for our film industry in Michigan: Hollywood came to Detroit ... I was at Will Smith's premiere for "The Pursuit of Happiness" and it was funny because the former Fresh Prince really did have the premiere at The (Phoenix) Bellaire Theatre.

Cheers,
Lee
