cork, it’s a riot

November 5th, 2008

It was almost 4am by the time we got to Grand Parade on Saturday night and found ahead of us a huge crowd weekend revellers, as well as a number of Gardaí. I was drawn to the them. I let the others go on as I was sure my Hotel was this direction anyway. After [...]


meet cyril

September 9th, 2008

It was almost two weeks ago that I decided to take a walk around town with my camera, snapping things of interest – which usually isn’t very much – but a new attempt to find something different and take a new route must be done every so often. As I left the city centre and [...]


belfast flickr meetup 25th may 2008

May 26th, 2008

It was a great weekend. Mostly spent chilling out, listening to music, watching Pushing Daisies, which I really don’t like and must stop watching immediately, watching terrible movies including this one along with a very moderate amount of alcohol. Saturday afternoon though, was the Belfast Flickr Meetup at the Continental Market at the City Hall, [...]


what mob?

April 18th, 2008

That was no mob! A pitiful performance! You should be ashamed of yourselves – those who didn’t make the effort. Its a team effort people! In this photo are a few of the mobsters. Here is all the space available for potential mobsters Those who were there were awesome! A small group, who gathered afterwards, [...]

the art of definition

December 3rd, 2007

While at the launch of the first solo exhibition of the excellent local artist Alice McCullough at the Safehouse Gallery on Monday 26th November I was asked whether I consider myself an ‘artist’. This got me thinking… According to the Dictionary.com: pho·tog·ra·phy – n. 1. The art or process of producing images of objects on [...]


art exhibitions and teenage angst

November 18th, 2007

This morning I woke up with the most painful throat ever. That and a killer headache. I need throat lozenges desperately. I’ve done all that I can, which isn’t a lot. I had some soup. I turned the heating on. I dressed warmly. I just wanted to go back to bed. And so I did. [...]


the last 3 weeks

October 8th, 2007

Sorry if you’re just here for the wild sex, as promised yesterday. Just one more day to wait. I am in no way sick of my photos of the US and trying to relive in my mind the experiences and get them down on paper (virtual paper). Though it has meant that I have slightly [...]


photo buddy

August 20th, 2007

What a relaxing weekend. Much of my time was spent at the parents house, chillin’ When there is a purpose for taking photographs it always makes it so much easier. Especially when my purpose is to show to people who have [probably] never been to Ireland. I try to think like this most of the [...]
