In this week's edition of The Karen Files, we're offering contrasting photos of Mom. The first is a professionally done, nicely lit portait, taken on Karen's wedding day. She looks lovely and happy as can be. The other is a casual snapshot of Karen and Lloyd. We're suckers for candid photographs of people we know and love. In a very real sense, they're so much more accurate in capturing the person as we remember them than the most adept and skilled of professional portraits.
