30 October 2009 - Bubbling Water
Water flows down to the beach at Fountainstown, bubbling as it goes over rocks and seaweed.
PS. I’ve reduced the cost of all prints by about $50 to $80 for the largest size framed prints. Most of the cost goes towards manufacturing and my markup is only 20% on all prints. Check ‘em out in my gallery and of course if a photo on the site takes your interest contact me and let me know!
07 September 2009 - Springer at Fountainstown
I always have a soft spot for Springer Spaniels. The beaches at Myrtleville and Fountainstown seem to be a favourite haunt of them if our experiences are anything to go by. Here’s a Springer that played with my son Adam at the beach in Fountainstown. They had a great time together!
Almost recovered. Stomach is still grumbling but the huge weakness I felt yesterday and this morning is gone. Relieved.
10 August 2009 - Bucket and Spade
My son’s bucket and spade lie forgotten on Fountainstown Beach while he goes off throwing stones in the water.

The cliffs of Sheep’s Head in West Cork are forever battered by the Atlantic.
10 December 2008 - so many people pass me by
Footsteps in the sand speak of many people passing this way.
Shot at Garrettstown Beach in October 2006. A very different shot to my previous Footprints in the sand.
Remember a few weeks ago I explained how I backed up my photos? Good thing I have backups as my first external drive has possibly died. It wouldn’t mount at first, and the drive kept making “spinning up” sounds but it has finally been recognised by Linux. Unfortunately attempts to get even a directory listing result in input/output errors. I’m doing an fsck of it but I’ll probably be buying another drive tomorrow!
Everything is backed up. There’s 411GB, or 8 years of photos on there, and lots of family videos I’d hate to lose. Thankfully they’re safe.
09 December 2008 - Windswept Daisies
Daisies cling to the sparse earth at the water’s edge in Fountainstown, Co Cork. This was taken just a few metres from my previous Fountainstown picture and was mocking me for over 2 years, sitting in my “Work in Progress” folder, defying my attempts to capture the feeling of that cold October day in 2006.
24 November 2008 - Shadows at Tragumna
Shadows are cast by the late afternoon sun at Tragumna Beach near Skibereen in Co Cork. This was my first time at the this beach, it was practically deserted except for a couple in their car who watched the waves.
05 November 2008 - Waves on Allihies Beach
Waves crash on the beach at Allihies in Co Cork.
28 September 2008 - Angela’s Shop in Fountainstown
Angela’s Shop and Coffee Dock in Fountainstown Co Cork. This shop has been at the beach in Fountainstown for the last 20 years (according to the owner) but I had never ventured inside until today. We were served lovely cups of tea which we enjoyed outside in the blazing sun.
I had hoped to shoot the women’s mini marathon earlier in the day but we had a busy morning with the baby and weren’t ready to leave the house until 1pm. Sorry Ciara, would love to have seen you and the girls in wedding dresses!
