Technology:

I have a passion for technology. It has brought us into the 21st century even more now than ever. We can now sit at home and work without ever seeing the inside of an office. There are also downfalls to technology and I think we must connect with others in new ways so that we do not lose sight of being human.

I am an associate Support Engineer at CA Technologies. CA gives me the connection I love so much with people combined with the passion for technology. CA is a wonderful company with a great culture and excellent minds. Visit us at http://www.ca.com

Photography:

My passion for photography started at an early age. My father had a canon 35mm camera that he let me take pictures with. I would zoom in and out of things around the yard and house. I was given a camera at an early age. I think I have more pictures of people, dogs, and cats as a kid than I do of myself. Today, I run my own photography business: Karen Lee | Photography.

I work with families, friends, landscapes, and macro shots. Contact me for more info.

Although time for Photography is not always one that comes to a priority this brings me to my last topic.

Travelling gypsy:

My dream. My one and true dream in my heart is to become a travelling gypsy photographer. To travel from place to place and take pictures. Send them off to places like NatGeo and BBC. This connection with people, our world, and even technology wraps me up in one pretty little package. Without technology we would not have DSLRs, without a love for photography I would not take pictures, and without other people in this world, I would be less human.

I have been to 32 out of 50 states in the United States, and 6 countires. I can't wait to visit more.
