Took a drive with Mum and Chris yesterday.
Somewhere north of the city.

Being Studious

February 9th, 2010

Blogging has been minimal lately due to on-going research for current university projects.
I’ve done a lot of thinking, and learning, of what it is to study photography, what my aims are, and how to go about it.
Research can be defined as the search for knowledge or any systematic investigation to establish facts. The primary [...]


Belfast4Haiti – A Success

February 1st, 2010

It was all go yesterday, as Belfast did a fantastic job of raising a hell of a lot of money for Haiti.
The campaign which started less than 3 weeks ago, and on Twitter if I remember correctly, by Aaron and Anto, massively surpassed the original £20,000 target.
A 5km fun run took place yesterday morning, [...]

While in Dublin last weekend I got some shots of the newly opened Samuel Becket Bridge, joining Sir John Rogerson’s Quay on the south side of the River Liffey to Guild Street and North Wall Quay in the Docklands area.

The snow has gone, and floods are replacing the freeze.
But while it’s still fresh in your mind, here are a few more snow pics from Belfast:


Big Freeze 2010

January 13th, 2010

All this talk of ‘black ice’ and ‘freezing snow’ has been a bit nuts lately. Coldest temperatures since the ice age and landscapes that look like they belong in the Antarctic. It’s been cold and disruptive; pipes bursting, the salt supply of whole countries gone and old people dying. with up to 6in of snow [...]


Curiosity and the Cat

January 7th, 2010

Oh look, it glows and flickers and, wait, is that heat? Oh I want to TOUCH IT.

Ouchie!
Though that didn’t stop her from trying again a little later… I didn’t let her go so far this time.

Cats are curious. And not so clever.
NO cats were harmed in the making of this post.
