    A note from Karen Alisa: I take pictures because I can't not take pictures. I find that when I am without my camera, I feel like something other than myself. There is a big piece missing. And while my burden may be lighter without the weight of photo baggage on my shoulder, I am somehow weaker in its absence. I am powerless and ill-equipped for capturing the fleeting beauty that constantly crosses my eye. No two people can possibly experience the same moment quite the same way. I love knowing that twenty people given a camera and a subject, regardless of education or experience, are going to shoot twenty completely different photos. I do not necessarily think my own perspective to be greater than anybody else's; however, I feel the need to share my own way of seeing because I believe there is much that is missed by the average liver of this life. I delight in showing people the beauty in themselves and in the little ordinary things that saturate our day-to-day world. One thing I enjoy about being a photographer is that I can be as connected as I want to be. I can be a fly on the wall, bearing witness to events as an outside ovserver; or, I can step forward and fully be present in the moments I am capturing. Either way, the focus of attempting to freeze my vision into something slightly more tangible is my addiction. I live for the satisfaction of achieving that creative quest. And it is everything to me when others can see and appreciate it, too. Karen's artwork will be on display 24 hours a day Monday-Sunday for anyone to purchase.

    There will be an opening night reception May 3  with Biscuits and Gravy Band!
