Looking Back

I've not blogged for a while as I moved house a few weeks ago and things have been a little hectic. Now thankfully, everything has calmed down again and my husband and I, along with our two Scottish Terriers are enjoying our new life in the country.

So, to kick off this blogging year (better late than never), I thought I'd say goodbye to last year with a quick round up of some random images I took during 2013.

 We stumbled upon a number of wonderful windmills at Consuegra, on our road trip from Toledo to Cordoba. 

A macro image of the rope on a lobster pot taken at the Isle of Whithorn, South West Scotland.

This Moroccan orange looked so good, i just had to photograph it half eaten.

Riad Romm'an, our holiday home in Marrakech, Morocco.

From a collection of photographs I called 'Small Faces' taken at Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes in Toledo, Spain.

An exhibition piece entitled 'The Djinn of le Palais de Bahia' exhibited and sold at a Bespoke Art Gallery exhibition at House For An Art Lover, Glasgow.

On our road trip to the Sahara desert. A photo of our guide Jbillo, who lead us on camels into the desert to camp overnight under the stars...magical!

I took this photograph when I was busy packing up the contents of our home. Phew, we made it to our new home, now for more unpacking...

Thank you for taking time to look through these images from 2013, I hope you like one or two. Please feel free to leave a comment below, I'd love to hear from you.  More soon, Laura x

Inspired by Felix - Fine Art Flower Photography by Laura Hudson Mackay

I have three adorable nephews, Matthew, Felix and Joseph. To all three I'm known as Auntie Lolli. 

If you have read my previous blog posts you'll know that I recently exhibited a selection of fine art photographs with Bespoke Art Gallery at House for an Art Lover.  Felix (4), came along to the event with his parents and he gave me this lovely card he had made to wish me a successful day. 

Felix likes flowers. Auntie Lolli also likes flowers and inspired by my lovely nephew, Lolliography was born. I am now busy working on a collection of black and white floral images for an exhibition in an utterly lovely venue on the South side of Glasgow (more details will be posted here soon).

For now, it's Friday and time for a G&T in the sunshine surrounded by beautiful flowers, just hope I don't trip up over my tripod!

LHM Photography to exhibit at House for an Art Lover

This Sunday, 14th April 2013, I'm delighted to be exhibiting my latest series of Fine Art Photographs for sale at House for an Art Lover in Glasgow. Further details for the event are below. Please do come along to what promises to be a wonderful exhibition in a fabulous venue!

The new series includes Limited Edition Photographs inspired by the Arabian fairy tales from 'One Thousand and One Nights'. Last year I found an original Victorian copy of the tales in Young's Interesting Books on Skirving Street in Glasgow.  The Victorians were fascinated by these tales of djinns, genies, sultans, palaces and magic. In this series of artwork I have sought to invoke the spirit of Arabian fantasy contained within these tales.  

Here is a sneak preview titled 'The Djinn of El Badi Palace'...
