Admittedly it does feel a little odd to be sober after waking up on a Saturday. Though it ain’t morning. its 13:30. Afternoon. I didn’t have one drop of alcohol yesterday and when I got home I watched 5 episodes of the amazing and truely addictive Heros. Last night I was at the Island Arts [...]

Friday was, as is the norm, not without plenty of drink and photos to go with it. A truth revealing, thought provoking, musical night; of course I slept on the sofa again. Before the afternoon arrived, I found myself at home, watching Heros; my latest obsession. Tonight I finished watching episode 12. Over the next [...]

What craziness. An awesomely fun-filled birthday weekend that was. Saturday night was spent in Lavery’s Bunker enjoying the music as part of the Curfew Festival which ran from Friday until Sunday. It was after this that the fun really started. Having slept on a friend’s sofa, I awoke and left the house at 6:30am. On [...]

In this country, the 12th July brings with it a lot of tension. In the last few years the Orange Order Parades have passed relatively peacefully, but if you are out when the parades are going by, it feels like the slightest thing could set any one of them off. The government, and the Orange [...]

And so it’s that time of year again. It is indeed nearing the Twelfth of July; Marching Season is fully upon us. I am in no way politically minded. In fact, I fucking hate politics. But this is Northern Ireland/Ireland and it’s not going to go away too quickly. Although things are getting a hell [...]

Here we go again. Another fantabulous week of mild arty-fartyness mixed with lots of alcohol and a few too many cigarettes… I hate to have any mention of them here, and I would love for it to be the last (though I fear they will just do a lot of stupid stuff in the next [...]

A work colleague of mine who lives in Larne told me on Friday that there was photographable stuff happening in the town. A car show and other outdoor activities. Even though I ended up having a late night, I got up early and got the 10:06am train. I had never been to Larne before, or [...]

These posts are becoming so few and far between, and to make matters worse all I want to write about is something that happened 2 weeks ago. Damn camera destroying my long run of great blog posts (shussh, I think so anyway!). So as usual – I’m quite happy, its just a running theme at [...]

Each day of the past week has been a joy. Great weather and taking part in enjoyable activities with the best people. I have also taken an average of 300 photographs a day, and had very little chance to even look at many. From gigs to exhibitions, waterfront walks to late-night construction workers even a [...]
