Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/kateknit

I have set up a shop on etsy for my photography. You can access it here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/kateknit

Right now I have primarily fine art nature photographs but I plan on branching out soon.

Upcoming projects (hopefully): lomography, vintage editing, wood block transfers, ttv (through the viewfinder) photography

"Through the Viewfinder" might sound like a dumb way of saying "plain photography" because most every camera has a viewfinder. But this is actually the practise of taking a picture through TWO viewfinders. An older, vintage camera (often with a large viewfinder accessed from the top of the camera) is used to compose the desired image and when the image is set up, the photographer aims his/her primary camera (often digital camera) so that he/she can see the first viewfinder (and all that is sees) in the second one. This is a faster and economical way of getting your vintage prints online. The image ends up with a rough look (depending on how grimy the lens on the vintage camera is) and it can be cropped to leave a nice black border on the photo.
