Street Performance World Championships Dublin 2009

June 28th, 2009

I always think that if we had heat like the past couple of weeks I’d never get anything done, between being overcome with tiredness, enjoying the sweet outdoors, or just not having the inclination to do anything remotely challenging. However, last weekend I was at the Street Performance World Championship in Dublin’s Merrion Square and [...]


RIP Michael Jackson

June 26th, 2009

Michael Jackson, despite all the reports in recent years, was a fucking legend on stage and I have always loved so much of his music. My mother has the LP of BAD and another Jackson 5 album (it had the brilliant song ‘Ben’ on it but I can’t seem to find the album cover I [...]


Love the Rain

June 18th, 2009

I almost bought an umbrella last week. I picked it up, looked at the price tag and thought “Umm… it might be better than the last one I had – only umbrella I’ve ever bought (before that I borrowed my Grandad’s… and lost it).” It probably would be as the last one was from Dunnes [...]


A Little Rain Never Hurt Anyone

June 10th, 2009

While the rain prevented much the photo planned photo walk on Saturday and kept us in the pub for a while, Ben, Kate and myself dodged the raindrops and walked towards the City Hall the huge hall and statues: It was still raining when we got out. So quickly returned to the pub.


Dublin Bus in Motion

June 9th, 2009

I doubt this will be the first time I mention this photo theme. I’ve been experimenting quite a bit lately with images involving motion; some simple, and some requiring a little more thought, timing and often luck. Definitely something I plan to put a lot more thought and time into. Here are a few shots [...]


The Photo Walk That Wasn’t

June 7th, 2009

It’s a beautiful evening, the sun is shining, pretty much how it has been for the last week or so – except yesterday; a major anomaly. It rained. All day. And so the Photo Walk had to be canceled in exchange for an afternoon in the pub, followed by an evening in the pub… Thankfully [...]


The Beat Goes On, And Tastes Evolve Part 2

June 3rd, 2009

[continued from Part 1...] All fairly standard stuff there really. Quite varied, but standard. I believe so anyway. The biggest surprise, however, came when, on the greatest holiday ever in the North West American States I was fed country music. At first I was completely shocked and horrified by this sound, demanding that it be [...]


Dublin Photo Walk Saturday 6th June 2009

June 2nd, 2009

Kate is organising a photo walk in Dublin this Saturday 6th June due to the unfortunate fact that she will be leaving the city to head home to England. We will be meeting at 12 noon at the South side of the Sean O’Casey Bridge (looks like this) [map] taking in much of the South [...]

Links Congrats to Northern Ireland-based comic book company, Infurious, and artist PJ Holden who’s iPhone app, which was turned down by Apple, has now been picked up by US network NBC. Very cool London 2012 posters. Famous photo journalism as Lego. Anger Management at its best. There’s an app for that. Pictures of insects having [...]
