26 February 2010 - River Island Skateboarder
River Island used one of my photos on a tshirt. Without telling me. I never got around to calling them out on it at the time and the tshirt has since disappeared from their clothing range but I want to post this anyway.
The first I knew that a tshirt had a photo of mine on it was when Dan, the skateboarder in the photo, contacted me and asked why a member of Irish band “The Script” was wearing a tshirt with his image on it. The band were interviewed on RTE and the interview ended up on Youtube where he saw it. I tried to get in touch with the band without any success.
Some time after, Dan got in touch again. He had spotted that River Island were selling the tshirt with my photo! At the time he was very upset and angry, and so was I. Unfortunately I was in Canada at the time and didn’t follow up with River Island when I got back.
It boggles the mind that such a large clothing chain would use an image without permission. It really does. It makes me wonder how often other multi-national companies do it.
(Thanks Alan for encouraging me to post about this!)

06 December 2009 - Digging up Daunt Square
Flash back to 2005 if you will. Ireland is in the grip of the Celtic Tiger boom. Cork is undergoing a transformation. The city’s streets were dug up and remolded with apparently improved drainage (didn’t help recently unfortunately) and the revamping of the city centre was in full swing.
Here’s the construction on Daunt Square, with behind it the long gone Virgin Megastore.
05 December 2009 - The doctor is out
The doctor is out, and won’t ever be in again.
Photo of the half-demolished buildings that became the ugly grey building across from Carroll’s Quay carpark on Leitrim Street, Cork.
Shot in April 2005.
Crewmen on the Fregatte Köln when it visited Cork in 2005 kept a close eye on me, Ryan and AJ as we photographed every inch of the ship we could see.
Looking back over these photos reminds me that this was the day the cheap memory card I used at the time failed on me and I lost a number of fairly decent shots.
