After seven years as KISO Fotografia, I'm ready for a change. So, effective immediately, my new business name will be Karen Evans Pictures. I didn't realize just how much work it would be to make a change like this; I was just excited to have a new name that better suits me - and, for you all - will be easier to say and spell!

When Ken called me up a month ago and asked if I'd come up to the Sandusky River to photograph him doing wakeboard tricks, I admit I was nervous. While I shoot fast-moving events for a living, I'm not usually on a fast-moving boat while I'm doing it.

He looks like a cartoon character.
