Kiva Lender: Karin

Location: Sacramento, CA United States
Occupation: Photographer
I loan because: I want to make the world a better place for all and have always dreamed of being a philanthropist. Making loans through Kiva is also my small way of honoring my friends and family who have helped my own photography business grow through micro-loans and small investments.
About me: I am a photographer who takes pictures of food, scenic travel destinations, and everyday life. One of my specialties is taking pictures of blind and disabled people in honest situations. My photographs are published in magazines, newspapers, websites, books and advertisements.
