Paris Part 2 – Metro

November 30th, 2009

I like trains.
I like underground trains.
I think I would be satisfied if I visited all underground metro systems. So far I can tick off London, New York, Boston and Paris.
Here are just a few of my shots from the Paris Metro.

Paris Part One

November 26th, 2009

After a few days to digest my excellent weekend in Paris, and edit my images, I can positively say that I’ll be putting more cash aside for weekends away in the future. Paris conjures up all sorts of ideas of romance, love stories, fashion and glamour and, in many parts of the city, this is [...]

Off to Paris for the weekend

November 18th, 2009

At 16.40pm tomorrow afternoon I will be on an aeroplane heading to Paris. My first time outside Ireland in 2 years (but not first time on a plane in that time)!

Continental Market opens 2009

November 18th, 2009

The annual Christmas Continental Market opened today in the grounds of the City Hall in Belfast, though oddly a week earlier than usual. According to the Lord major on the news this is the seventh Christmas Market, I’m just going to assume she’s right even though she said “I think…” (but for that I hope [...]

Getting home late in the evening the past few days I took some photographs of the traffic from the top of the bus:


iTouch – Part 1 Music

November 12th, 2009

I’ve felt slightly inadequate for a while now. I don’t have an iPhone. People are shocked when I tell them, but it’s true. The next best thing is surely the iPod Touch, you know, without being tied to a overpriced contract with O2 for all eternity. Having been with it for a few weeks I’ve [...]


USA 2007 Part 6 – Back to NYC

November 11th, 2009

On leaving, again, the beautiful setting of Rhode Island that Summer 2007 I made my way back to New York City; chaotic, fascinating, sexy, engaging. A magnetic hold, constantly pulling me back.


Twitter Lists

November 11th, 2009

Just a quick note on the Twitter lists that were the talk of last week.
Many people are seeing it as a popularity thing, or as a marketing thing. Twitter is, always has been, and always will be so many different things to different people. For me, it is so much. Keeping up with general news, [...]
