Australian photographer Kate O’Brien’s photos are fantasy snow globes, arranged just so. Not a shiny curl out of place, not a flower askew, they’re bottled candy bliss An avid collector, Kate finds inspiration everywhere. Online auctions, liquidators and op-shops are her hunting grounds when in search of the perfect piece to finalize her vision. Driven by a deep love of Victoriana and the macabre, Kate often spends years looking for weird and wonderful items to include in her photographs O’Brien lives in Brisbane with her husband, two cats and five ducks. There she continues to immortalize an ever-growing assortment of muses, each image a sugar-dusted memento of an eerie world in a simpler time. www.kateobriencreative.comTumblr (3.0; @kateobriencreative)http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/G0MCIC6pZowh73qmhZsNOYvlo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/126437117http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/126437117Fri, 19 Jun 2009 23:22:58 +1000<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/G0MCIC6pZowgfyd4tkODklFVo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/126430144http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/126430144Fri, 19 Jun 2009 23:01:51 +1000<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/G0MCIC6pZo7je6hsWuVNhBMno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/116569707http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/116569707Tue, 02 Jun 2009 12:30:13 +1000<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/G0MCIC6pZo7jbyuaxzTO0wVio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Homage to Ryden</p>http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/116569006http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/116569006Tue, 02 Jun 2009 12:28:30 +1000<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/G0MCIC6pZo7j5r7d7zJuLQzio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Homage to Caesar</p>http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/116566932http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/116566932Tue, 02 Jun 2009 12:23:40 +1000<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/G0MCIC6pZo1tuz8s2mO5UZkYo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/114618574http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/114618574Fri, 29 May 2009 12:36:36 +1000<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/G0MCIC6pZo1ttjk0jHewn64mo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/114618134http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/114618134Fri, 29 May 2009 12:35:29 +1000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/G0MCIC6pZo1tmng8dYZTxn7co1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/114615932http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/114615932Fri, 29 May 2009 12:30:07 +1000<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/G0MCIC6pZjk19x6oF7hzqJLCo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/75682605http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/75682605Thu, 05 Feb 2009 07:05:30 +1000<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NRCfjNAgwrI&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NRCfjNAgwrI&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/>http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/73207416http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/73207416Mon, 26 Jan 2009 21:53:55 +1000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/G0MCIC6pZj6ezxlwwm0R39e4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Inspired by Heidi Taillefers amazing painting, <a href="http://www.heiditaillefer.com/index.php/selected-word/68" target="_blank">I Put a Spell on You</a>.</p>http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/73179544http://kateobriencreative.tumblr.com/post/73179544Mon, 26 Jan 2009 18:20:52 +1000
