Place to be

March 8, 2011 Bronica ETRS, Cork, Film, Landscape

The weather is beginning to turn again and although some Donegal weather forecasting prophet has predicted more snow in the next couple of weeks, I think I’ll take a chance on a green Patricks day instead of a white one. So yeah, weather turning. Thoughts of getting back out and taking some landscapes. Loaded up lightroom and this jumped out of my catalog list. It’s from an almost forgotten roll of velvia I scanned some time back. I’m pretty sureRead More

Tour de Wicklow

February 15, 2011 iphone, Landscape, Wicklow

Buying a bike in January is exquisite torture. Mostly because with the shitty weather, you can’t actually get out and have a proper spin until mid February. It was still a bit too cold to enjoy thoroughly (a fact which I discovered to it’s fullest extent after I removed my helmet at Newcastle beach) and the dark clouds that hung over great portions of the journey appeared as if they might decant a biblical quantity of rain on me atRead More

Flowers Made Easy

The Flowers Made Easy photowalk yesterday in Dublin went off without a hitch, thanks to all the folks at Flowers Made Easy and those at photowalk.ie that made the trip possible. To sum it up in as few words as possible, it was like a trip to the Botanic Gardens but without all the required walking. Also, as you may have been tipped off by the photo above, Fran was knocking about with some foam props. There was also anRead More

All Things Cyclical

February 3, 2011 Cork, Dublin, iphone, Landscape, People

I can’t remember exactly the exact time it happened or any specific reason but apparently all of a sudden an iphone and two cheap applications have seen my 5D and modest yet highly functioning lens collection abandoned to a darkened corner of the spare room. I’ve never been a kind to practice street photography to any great degree so I don’t imagine that it’s out of convenience. It’s certainly not because the phone is a better camera than a nowRead More

Brightness on the Horizon

December 31, 2010 Canon 5D, Landscape, Scotland

Monsters are vanquished, beaten by a brave knight. Lots on the horizon but can’t quite make it out yet. Onward and upward? Maybe. Time and travel will tell. Happy 2011.

Guinness Christmas

December 21, 2010 Dublin

Walking home from work yesterday.

A house like this

December 19, 2010 Uncategorized

Julie’s marvelous gingerbread creation. I can’t say I helped much but I did lovingly craft some of the fence out of chocolate fingers.

Tumbling in

December 16, 2010 Canon 5D, Dublin, People

Hadn’t been to the storehouse in a while so when we had visitors back in October it was the perfect excuse/opportunity. Yes, I know this photo has been done before too 😉

Way To Work

December 12, 2010 Dublin, Film, Landscape

One of the regular views on my way to and from work. Not so much lately with the ice, snow and darker evenings though.

Unexpected Beamish

December 7, 2010 Dublin, Film

is unexpected. After being told about a certain pub only 5 minutes walk from my workplace that sells Beamish (or sold it about a year ago at the time this was taken anyway) I had to check it out. And check it out I did.

Right Shape

Scotland. Can I go back now please?

Fragment

December 1, 2010 Canon 5D, Cork, Event, People

I’m sure all the Cork people will spot what/where this is, despite the lack of detail

Seasons

November 29, 2010 Canon 5D, Dublin, Event, Macro, Sigma 150 Macro

An obvious plant in the Botanic Gardens.

Bread and Water

November 25, 2010 Black and White, Canon 5D, Cork, Event

Insufficient lodgings at the Cork Gaol. I guess hardwood floors and a place to rest your weary head is better than nothing. No playstations or conjugal visits.

November Walk

November 24, 2010 Canon 5D, Cork, Event, Landscape

Sometimes you get nice days in November too. Just in time for the Cork Photowalk.

Gaolbirds

November 21, 2010 Black and White, Cork, Event

Outside the Gaol for the Cork photowalk. Weather played nicely, very nicely in fact. Thanks to all who showed up. 11 down, 1 to go.

No More Bad Days

Another view on a previous location.

Almost Liberty

November 3, 2010 Canon 24-70, Canon 5D, Landscape

I’d like to get back to NYC for a few days. Maybe Boston for a few days. Just to roam and be free

The Stores

The end of the Visit Dublin photowalk.

Eyefulls of Soot

Head goes out the window, clickity click. Head comes back in the window with scorched eyeballs. Owidy ow. But worth it.
