About
In Photos is run by Donncha O Caoimh, a software developer with Automattic Inc. and one of the guys behind weblog site WordPress.com and the multi-user version of WordPress WordPress mu. He lives with his lovely wife Jacinta in the scenic town of Blarney, Co. Cork, Ireland.
He posts a new photograph every day on this site. They are usually street shots around Cork City, Ireland but there’s a wealth of photos from around the country and elsewhere too. Donncha is a Linux user and his primary post-production tool is The GIMP, using GThumb as an image viewer.
This blog won the “best photoblog” section of the Irish Blog Awards 2006 last March.
