A time for everything
The Coronavirus pandemic is raging on and most of us are sadly locked down for what looks like many more weeks to come.
On a positive note, this extra time has allowed me to focus on a rather long list of things to do. Aside from taking a daily walk with my camera, I’ve spent time backing up and archiving photographs, something I had been dreading doing for a good while. I have found inner calm working on a number of garden projects around the grounds of my home which is helping with exercise, fresh air and mental health. And, something I’ve been wanting to do for ages is set up a new website! My previous site was static and I was often frustrated that I couldn’t update it with new content. The beauty of this new website is that it is able to evolve and grow, there are a number of features and functions new to me, including a shop and this blog.
I hope you enjoy your visit here and it serves as a visual mini-retreat from the craziness going on elsewhere.

“ The hush of a shadow … the laughter of full light … that cool, quiet rustle in the forest ... a secret hiding place of precious, concrete memories ... a patient flower, seeking warmth on a sunny window-sill … Laura Hudson Mackay’s photography captures a mood, a mystique, at once stark & poetic, then lilting & romantic. Her images speak of a cognizance and strong connection with the animate & inanimate world … of harmony, synchronicity & the interplay of form, function and feeling.
Her work has a cosiness and intimacy too, which acts like a heartbeat, an inner voice, calling us to share in her dreamy, visual vignettes. For me, it is audible. I hear her beautiful stories. They are modern and ancient, brooding & playful.
Laura brings life to stilllife, & stillness to a fast and heady world. She knows her subjects well, spending time with them, studying, listening & assessing their intrinsic beauty ... just as a good and committed friend would do.
Her enchanting photography and this website are where astute craft & deep character converge.”
