Holiday Caravan

Monday, January 7th, 2008 by Donncha

A holiday near a on the Peninsula.

This has been in the same spot for at least the last 2 years, and probably longer. I wanted to shoot it for quite a while but it wasn’t until I converted this shot to b/w that I was happy with it.

Firemen in action

Saturday, January 5th, 2008 by Donncha

City Fire Brigade were called out this evening to a shop on Patrick .

I’m not sure what the emergency was but two fire engines were called to the scene and had a Garda escort on the way there. Maybe a gas leak?
A huge crowd gathered around and when some saw my camera they just had to pose for a shot .. more on that next week!

Trivia: these are my first shots posted in 2008 that was taken in 2008. Plenty more 2007 ones to go through yet though!

Slow down in 2008

Friday, January 4th, 2008 by Donncha

I’m going to slow down this year. I’ve been trying to keep up with everyone else, moving without thinking, on auto pilot sometimes.

I blog too fast. There! I’ve said it. I tried to post here, to Holy Shmoly!, to The Funny Video Blog every day but there’s only so much one man can do.

Instead, this blog will of course be updated every day, Holy Shmoly will be updated at most 3 times a week, and I’ll try to post one funny video a week.

Then I’ll have time to play with my son, watch him discover the world and enjoy the great times.

Ryan - thank you for the recommendation and a happy new year to you too!

A strange waiting at the in downtown last summer.

Starlight headlights

Friday, December 28th, 2007 by Donncha

A long five second exposure at f/22 captured stuck on Patrick about a month ago.

They’ve done some fabulous work on the pavements of ’s main thoroughfare but it hasn’t made a jot of difference to vehicular traffic, except to make it more dangerous to pedestrians as they saunter across junctions blissfully unaware of the bearing down on them ..
