I bought an underwater housing for my boyfriend's canon powershot sd500 as a birthday present for him, and I ended up loving underwater photography; now I'm crazy about it.

I'm still using the same canon and I hope to upgrade to something better soon.
UPDATE: I just received as a birthday present from my boyfriend (03 Jun 2007) a new camera, a Canon G7 with housing for underwater photography. Now I'm hoping to go diving soon to take new pictures with it :-)

I was born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1982. My father (Joorro: www.flickr.com/photos/jorrito) is from Palma de Mallorca, Spain; and my mother is from Chile ( www.flickr.com/photos/98266967@N00/ ).

I have a brother (Christian: www.flickr.com/photos/christianoliver/) who is 10 years older than me; he lives in Atlanta and have a beautiful daughter named Vanessa

I have a boyfriend, the same one since 1999, his name is Nicos ( www.flickr.com/photos/npalamidis/ ); He makes me more tan happy.

I'm studying Business administration at the Universidad Metropolitana in Caracas.

I'm passionate about animals, specially horses;, macaws and dogs; I would have love to be a veterinary.

I practice Equitation (show jumping) and I'm a Master Scuba Diver.

    "When I wrote this, Karen only had 52 pictures in her collection, but look how good they are! They are excellent pictures. They are not just technically good - well composed, well lit, well framed and so on - they also show that Karen has that essential quality of the good underwater photographer - patience. It's not easy to wait for the right moment. Fish can be very elusive (or are well disguised). If she is already this good, it is scary to think how good she is going to get - David Doubilet had better watch out!"

    "Karen

    I just visited her site here. I see that she is very unique!!

    She is specialised on Marine shots.

    During my childhood, I like to watch "Voyage To The Bottom of The Sea!!"

    I like to keep fish & sea star..etc. She help to bring back my memory.

    All her shot are of great quality. I want to congratulate her & at the sametimes, thank her for her kindness to share.

    I appreciate your everything.

    You are great!!"
