I live on a hill farm in the Lake District in England. I take photographs of everything, but am drawn especially to hunting the dynamic moment, a happenstance, the serendipitous, in both rural and urban settings. A lot of my inspiration comes from the photos by others, posted here on Flickr, so thank you.

    "A description of Kate's photographs would suggest the most banal calendar art. Instead, it's a revelation to discover the subtlety, wit and beauty of her images. Whether photographing animals in the country or humans in the city she always amazes. If this stream were a book, I'd buy it."

    "i really don't know what to say in testimonials but i must set down in words my appreciation for Kate's photos. She documents her life on a hill farm, its a touching and at times moving chronicle of the seasons, the hardships and sheer breathtaking beauty of the countryside.
    Her quirky observational humour of the town life is filled with telling narratives, her whole stream transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary with the clarity of a dream.
    Anyone who does a self portrait with lichen gets a double thumbs up from me."
