Preparing for the Dublin parade at Parnell Square. Little bit different this year; Instead of shooting the parade, we got to shoot the before scene.

As I\’m currently processing shots from last nights Web Awards, I thought I\’d throw up a quick taste. This is Rick performing his usual duties. Definitely got it down to a fine art at this stage. If you won, are a sponsor or are just interested in seeing the photos, keep an eye on the awards website over the coming days.
As if your life depended on it. Speeding down the home straight toward the finish line at Mondello Park. It\’s been quite a while since I did a lap of Mondello on my own bike. But then again, that was a barge compared to what these guys were on. Well, that was a barge compared to a Ford Fiesta.
Too much time spent with the truly epic 300mm f2.8L IS. Darragh\’s 300 2.8 for that matter. Can\’t understand how I didn\’t have a link to Darragh\’s blog here either. Maybe because I\’m truly awful at keeping up with peoples blogs these days? Anyway, wonderful event. I\’d forgotten how good it was to photograph bike sport. Last time around it was motocross, a lot slower and a little easier (although a lot more muddy) than the masters. But bloody hell what an event. Major thanks due to John and all the guys at Mondello Park for a fantastic day out. I can only hope this and the previous event (Japfest) is the start of a long and productive relationship with Mondello. Yeesh. Now to spend the next 6 months sorting through the 2700+ photos I took on the day. Expect more. Lots, lots more.
Mattie Griffin doing his stuff in the pouring rain at Japfest in Mondello park at the start of September. The weather didn\’t stop him from putting on an amazing show, performing stunts that other (possibly sane) people wouldn\’t attempt on a bone dry road. More from Japfest in the coming days.
Many many moons ago, when staying in Montreal. Always been housed by Caroline without so much as a grumble or an eye rolled. I\’m not the easiest person to invite into your home for weeks on end, but she\’s always done so with a smile. Very grateful for that. Very very grateful. Montreal is fantastic. Only ever gone there in winter when it\’s covered in a thick layer of snow and ice (and around minus thirty degrees Celsius). I\’m due a trip back over there in the coming years during the summer, just to see if the place is as green as I\’m told. Although I would like to get another bit of snowboarding in. Seems a waste to go there when it\’s warmer now that I\’ve bought all that expensive cold weather clothing. Also Quebec city. Need to get back there. Need to brush up on my French first though. Bleh, I need a holiday!
Possibly only if you\’re wearing heels though. Or wearing heels and drunk. Or (bear with me), wearing heels, drunk and a first time cross-dresser. Other than that, you\’re pretty safe. Out for a relaxing Sunday stroll. Completely unlike those relaxing Sunday strolls that turn into epic shopping trips. By which I mean standing around while the other half tries on everything in the bloody shop. But thankfully I don\’t suffer that. No, seriously.. I wasn\’t being sarcastic this time.
Pass the swanky breads, way past the name-dropping \’considerably better than you\’ vegetables, around the corner where the exclusive sauces and marinades live and over on the opposite side of the decadent coffees and teas in no name jars is where you\’ll find me. Waiting for you… Or someone in a Range Rover, whoever finds me first.
Back from latest travels to Slovakia and the 5D is back from hospital. So pretty much all sorted for the blog awards this time next week. Can\’t wait!
After a walk around city hall (and a spot of rain which lead to a much needed cup of coffee), I stopped here for a moment while all around me everything was dripping wet, glistening and waiting to be photographed.
