Karen,

first of all let me express my admiration for your work.

I started some time ago a camera collection of my own and reading your articles inspired and guided me.

I am a 67 year old portuguese photographer that started shooting pictures 50 years ago, mainly fascinated by the immense variety of cultures and behaviors in the world. Perhaps I am an espontaneous kind of ethnographic mind.

I started the building of a blog about my collection (around 50 cameras now) and I would be grateful if you allow me to display some of your material, always mentioning the author of course.
