I'm 26. My name is Cari. I'm still pretty new here. Maybe a little presumptuous that you are curious about me, but here it is.

I own 2 businesses. I am a photographer and an office manager.
Why am I on the sift?
Peggedbea has been my best friend for over 10 years. I see her every Tuesday and smoke. She told me I needed to play here. I did.

I live in Fort Worth, Texas. It's hot and mostly miserable here.

I enjoy all sorts of beer.In my free time I like to try to play the guitar, bass, and take pictures of myself. I am a huge music fan and I enjoy finding new and interesting things to listen to. I love documentaries and interesting books. (Kurt Vonnegut, Haruki Murakami, Will Self)

My name is because i enjoy vagina names and things that you can blow.

I don't like Palin, but I am a photographer and that is a shitty photo.

Then again, no one, especially a politician, should expect their photo to be automatically retouched. If she is going for the folksy attitude then she should also expect a natural photo, unretouched, to appear on the magazine cover.

What's the shame of showing Palin as she is? Why should she deserve to have her likeness retouched? Why shouldn't America see her for exactly what she is?

I do nothing, because I cannot. I wont explain why not.

To me taking photos of someone that clearly needs help is like snapping shots of dead bodies at a car accident with a cell phone.

But then again I'm biased because I am fledgling photographer and a trained first responder. First thing to do when responding to people in need? Clear the scene and kick the media out.
