The perfect gift for Mothers and Moms, "HI MOM" is a photographic tribute to Moms everywhere. Images by Karen Van Wert What started as a simple gesture to her Mother has become a long term project for photographer Karen Van Wert (a.k.a. KVW). When traveling or working on a project, KVW keeps her eye open for the next "Hi Mom" image. Ideas seem to present themselves and she reaches for her camera. The "HI Mom" series is a simple way of saying "Thanks Mom, I appreciate everything you have done for me."
