Youghal, last April. Coca Cola sells happiness while Tesco tries to sell bargains. PS. I just posted a gallery of photos from the IBA 09 photowalk last February.

O’Briens Sandwich Bar
Filed in Black and White, Cork, Ireland, People, Photography, Photos, Sigma 10-20, Street, Urban“O’Briens’ HQ placed in examinership” according to this news report yesterday. This is their fairly recently opened (and more recently closed) “sandwich bar” on Oliver Plunkett Street here in Cork. Loved their Triple Decker, even if it was a little pricey.

Stopped by a fag

Clouds drift over the River Lee across from Blackrock Village about a week ago. I’m trying out the preview of Bibble 5 Pro at the moment. Great DAM features, although it is starting to slow down after importing about 90,000 images and it’s reading from an external USB 2.0 drive.

The gull fight
Filed in Black and White, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, UrbanGulls fight over a few crumbs of bread at the Lough in Cork. Taken during a photowalk there last year.
The huge bulk of R&H Hall can be seen for miles around, as telecoms companies noticed too when they planted their dishes and aerials on top of the building. It’s a prominent building in Cork Docklands, and surprisingly, I’ve only posted photos of it once before, when it was on fire 3 years ago. I [...]
