“Unsolved Mystery”
In all of time, only 2 ‘Karen’s have rocked the world stage by artfully interweaving powerful music dynamics with otherwise unrelated ability— the 1st a CARPENTER with DRUMMING skills (Karen Carpenter)-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dJUnh6N8-U ; the 2nd a PHOTOGRAPHER with remarkable FIDDLE talent (Karen Roberts)-- http://jpgmag.com/people/DixieBlueEyes .
Only recently did Karen Roberts identify herself as the genius behind the “Foto Fiddler” moniker. She has sparked the greatest UNSOLVED MYSTERY of the new digital era and sits on top of the photo world-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mq5pLi0huhw . 50+ emails daily ask us “WTF is Foto Fiddling?”, and "How is it done?".
Issue 25 [we’re ahead of the other magazine] answers your questions! With her publisher’s permission, we print the entire 1st chapter—“Foto Fiddlin’ 101” — of Karen's new book, “Foto Fiddling for Dummies” [PROP # 1 below]. What’s involved? You really should read our new issue; but we’ll provide 1 clue: “No strings attached!” Rock on, Karen!! --The Editors :~)
