kate mellersh (come to a halt)
Drag to set position!
Flickr was really important to me for a while. I made some lovely friends here, saw some very inspiring work, and enjoyed being part of a creative community. I no longer recognise that Flickr I loved so much. I'm afraid my account is now pretty much totally inactive. So apologies if you get in touch, and I don't respond. Wishing you well, and missing the Flickr I knew and loved.

If you love images, but have some doubts about the commenting culture on Flickr, why not try the group I set up, full of lovely members who keep it going far better than I ever could - visual echo - comment with images, not words?
It makes me sad to have to ask this, but I have found people posting my images all over the web without asking, and often without a credit or any avenue to ask them to stop. Please contact me first. It seems only fair, doesn't it?

The combination of amazing color and graphic lines makes Kate's photographs wonderfully interesting. And then there are her titles. I haven't seen anyone on flickr with such inventive titles. They give her work an extra dimension where the little details in her photographs really come to life.
Kate's photographs are quite simply stunning.

I first came across Kate's work earlier last year with her detailed studies of tins and vegetables at Sainsbury's, these images were strange and unfamiliar and quite intriguing, then i realized she has the mastery of giving back to us the awareness of things which have become the habitual objects of our everyday awareness. Kate's special ability of turning found objects. abstracts and close ups into the glory and freshness of a dream. Every one of her photos is a visual transcendental masterpiece, easily one of the best streams on flickr, still kicking myself for not seeing her exhibition in Witney my home town.
Read lessKate's photostream is one of the few photostreams on flickr.com you come back to over and over again. It's like a walk through a well designed nature park and each time you enter the park you can take another road, seeing new things but also seeing the same things differently. More than the sum of it's parts
Kate's photostream is like getting a bunch of flowers given to you on the rainiest day of the year. It's colourful, exciting and you can come back to it time and time again, and you'll see something new in the close-crops and juxtapositions that you didn't notice before. Keep an eye on the clock though; it's so com… Read more
Kate's photostream is like getting a bunch of flowers given to you on the rainiest day of the year. It's colourful, exciting and you can come back to it time and time again, and you'll see something new in the close-crops and juxtapositions that you didn't notice before. Keep an eye on the clock though; it's so compelling, you'll browse a lot longer than you intended to.

Coming across Kate's photos is a bit like Dorothy falling into the Land of Oz and being knocked for a Technicolor loop. Kate's a colorist in the finest sense of the word, producing images of such vibrance and energy, there's no way to sift through her work without coming away feeling a little more hopeful about things – or craving a truck-load of Life Savers (the fruity ones). I can't wait to see more of her work popping up in my Contacts list.
Read lesskate has quite the ability for transforming mundane minutae into magical masterpieces! she's got a great eye for the abstract, and is a geometric genius. gotta love a fellow line whore :) can't wait to see more!
