Important decisions in life. What job will I do in the future and should I wear a beard? I’ve got the job bit covered, but would I look better with a beard? I think there’d be trouble if I tried growing one! The wearbeard sticker really caught my eye. It’s just weird to create a [...]

Fred Fans Go Wild!
Filed in Black and White, Cork, Ireland, People, Photos, St Patrick's Street, Street, UrbanTwo enthusiastic fans of Cork band, Fred, when they played at the May Day celebrations in Cork back in 2005. I loved their first album, but the second one was just more of the same. Great to hear and watch live though!

Fancy ass public transport
Filed in Black and White, Candid, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, People, St Patrick's Street, Street, Urban, VehiclesOK, so it’s not quite a bus, but it’s a stretch limo. I saw it again today cruising up and down Patrick’s Street with the rear window open a crack. I’d hate to see that try to navigate a tight bend!

Allihies Beach
Filed in Allihies, Beach, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Landscape, Nature, Photos, Sea, Sky, WaterI look outside now and see the hazy cloud and rain that has descended on Cork and wonder if I was really at Allihies beach and saw the fluffy cumulus cloud stretching off into the distance. It seems like a another lifetime. Today my wife, Jacinta, and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary. It’s a [...]

Daisies in the grass
Filed in Ballincollig, Cork, Flowers, Ireland, Landscape, Nature, PhotosThis is really looking back into the archives. I shot this in 2004, probably with the Sony 717 and at a guess probably in the park near the Gun Powder Mills in Ballincollig. Long time ago. Lovely day!

Black and White Tractor
Filed in Ballincollig, Black and White, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Landscape, Photos, VehiclesA farmer ploughing his field caught my attention while out driving with Adam (trying to get him to sleep, it worked!) The farmer saw me and asked the usual “why are you photographing me?” question but was friendly enough. Plenty of work to be done anyway as he was only halfway through the field! When [...]
