Filed in Architecture, Canon 10-22, Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Lights, lomo, Photography, Photos, UrbanThe toilets in the Cork International Airport Hotel are a pretty amazing sight to behold.

This was before I started drinking, and my friends bought cans of beer in an off-license. The guy behind the counter warned them the Guards were about [...]

Ye olde church
Filed in Architecture, Black and White, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, UrbanThis church in Castletownbere in West Cork looks like it may have seen better days but by the looks of the mowed grass it’s probably still in use. The Canon 40D was delivered today. I could have posted a sample picture but I didn’t have time to shoot anything interesting besides a few snaps of [...]

Hello! Brad and Angelina!
Filed in Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Kinsale, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on the cover of Hello! in the window of a hairdresser in Kinsale. That was some crazy amount of money to buy the rights to the first pictures of their twins, Knox and Vivienne. At least it’s going to charity, but as soon as Hello! published them the same shots [...]
