Flower Power
By
I got to know Karen when she did some temp work at the studio. I knew she her favorite hobby was photography so this was the perfect way to photograph her. Her favorite places to visit are arboretums to photograph flowers. The wild background image was a photo she took while I was photographing her. She was not really trying to get an image but I loved the wild, abstract look of it so I asked her to send me the file.
“This experience has taught me: I can not always be in control. I have to let go and let God.”

Karen has been a friend of mine for several years. She helped me through a melanoma cancer with her strength and encouragement and also, several years ago, through the loss of my child. She is an inspiration to us all and her sense of humor is contagious. I love her.
