About

Hi!  I’ve been posting for a couple years around the blogosphere as “karmardav” or “karma.”  Someone once shortened my karmardav user name to Karma and I like it!  My real first name is Karen.  I am a happily married mother of two teenaged girls.  Along with my husband and daughters, I share my home with a cat and two dogs.  We live a pretty average life in a pretty average town.

The family on vacation in Maine last summer (2009)

I decided to add a couple blurbs from my first post “Why a Blog” in case I get any new readers that may be interested in why I do this blog:

I love reading comments about what people like, but even more so, how to improve.  Two years ago I did a project that many digital photographers have done : Project 365.  In this project, you make yourself take at least one photo every day.  Doesn’t sound all that difficult, but for me it was.  Finding something new and interesting to shoot every day was quite the challenge.  When I did that, I posted my shots on Flickr .  It is my hope that through this blog, I might be able to have the opportunity to interact with others who may share my interest.  I will always welcome constructive criticism even though photography is but a hobby for me.  Maybe more than a hobby – perhaps an “enthusiam.”  Photography will be my main reason for doing this blog, but I may decide to post now and then on other things that interest me such as : my family and the trials of raising two teenaged daughters, my dogs, the Boston Red Sox, quilting, cooking experiments  or any other thoughts that pop into my mind.
