Like Rick, But With No Banter

Like Rick, But With No Banter
Getting into the act a bit late but nevertheless… For those of you that still don\’t know, RTE has taken the curious decision of a screwing with the format of three slots, Rick\’s, Nikki Hayes and Will Leahy. As someone who\’s both listened to these shows for a while and actually had the pleasure of being in the studio during a show, I can\’t begin to understand how RTE thought this was a good idea. There is already a lot of momentum behind the campaign to get RTE to reverse it\’s decision, including a facebook group and coverage in various media. Amazing the things that seem like a great idea when you\’re sitting in a board meeting eh?

Having ensured both his callers understood the jist of the game of blackjack, Rick proceeded to deal the cards. Why blind mans blackjack? Well.. Err.. Radio!?! This second in the \’Rick 2008\’ series (I\’ll have enough to open a gallery with by the time I\’m done) is brought to you today purely because I\’m in people photo processing mode. I\’ve been processing a wedding (hereafter to be known as \’work\’) for the evening so it made sense to post a portrait to the blog. Anyway.. Happy weekend everybody!

For the past… ohh, years I\’ve been promising Rick O\’Shea a portrait session. Ever since the first blog awards really when he expressed an interest in a photo I took of him. So vast amounts of time passed and nothing was organised until April 1st (I didn\’t think he\’d believe that I wanted to do it that day) when I went into the 2fm studios to take a whole load of photos. On scanning through them just now for the first time, it appears there are quite a few keepers in the pile.

But I\’m getting off the point. Happy Birthday Rick!
