old ideas/new photos

all above photos by Kate Hogg 2011


Last year I was playing around a lot with my photos and photo transfers (see blog post 'A series of experiences'), this year after moving back to Canada, I wanted to document the nature all around us. The trees became my inspiration; the changing colours from summer to fall to winter, the textures, the smells. I loved it all! so I got myself another disposable camera and shot my surroundings.

-above are some selected photos from the roll. I would like to blow them up BIG and transfer them on beautiful canvas and distress them and paint them etc, etc (that's the plan atleast).

enjoy!
