About Me

..This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5
I'm KARIN obsessed with photo, tea, cats, music, loss and cheese. I'm a teacher, I'm a vegetarian, I'm a monster, I'm a sister, I'm a photographer, I'm a music lover, I'm a cello, I'm great a DIY, I'm good a taming lions, I'm a cook, I'm a bookworm, I'm a hundred things, at least...

And last but not least, I play the bass, the glockenspiel and some keyboards in Crimson Muddle .


Some are addicted to alcohol, drugs, to people or television, I am addicted to my camera! Shooting helps me because each picture is a proof that what you call reality is actually REAL. Since I was a child, I've been collecting memories, souvenirs, each piece of paper, thread, each pebble, ticket that have been around me at a particular moment of my life is now safe in my den, and each picture is like a new butterfly for this collection...If you want to share these memories with me, to enjoy a little trip through my eyes, this place is the right place.

WHAT ABOUT HERE? Well, here you will find:
1. my virtual GALLERY for temporary exhibitions, mostly exhibitions of my work (= PHOTO SECTION)
2. my PHOTO-DIARY, that I wish will be updated more often than my galleries! ;) (= BLOG SECTION)

New exhibition: more corpses floating in alcohol! Come have a look in the photo section!!


Feel free to add me, but if you don't interact, there's no point in adding me! ;)
