A word to the camera-wise: Carry your camera with you always. It’s longtime hobby photographer Karen Callahan’s one tip to success.
Callahan’s been snapping images since a high school class piqued her interest almost 30 years ago. This particular image, shot last summer in her backyard looking into a neighbor’s, was an inspirational entry in the Picture Plymouth 2011 photo contest.
“The girls [friends of Callahan’s daughters] looked so cute, they resembled some old ladies stopping to chat,” she says. “Little kids especially inspire me, because they grow so fast.”
An 18-year Plymouth resident, Callahan says she loves the town because it has everything her kids need—the parks are great, yet they’re still close to the larger city of Minneapolis.
