27 June 2009 - Ford Anglia
A Ford Anglia at the vintage car meetup where I shot the Mustang and other cars a while back.
24 May 2009 - MINI Awards
An original MINI, with awards and plaques on it’s grill at Charles Fort near Kinsale last March.
30 April 2009 - Ford Mustang
Another shot of the same Mustang at Charles Fort a few weeks ago. Plenty of photo opportunities!
11 April 2009 - Old Car Interior
The interior of the car that sits in the lounge of the Cork International Airport Hotel.
24 March 2009 - Ford Hubcap
A very old Ford hubcap covers a garden pot. I wonder what car that came from.
7 March 2009 - Old Style Car
These old style cars were all the rage for about 5 minutes a few years ago weren’t they?
Pictured in Kinsale, Co Cork on a hot Summer’s day.
PS. my brother Donal got married today. Brilliant day had by all and wedding was really nice!
25 February 2009 - Mini & the pussy
An (ancient?) Mini, one of the older British design, not the new fangled BMW ones that are as big as a Yaris, and of course a pussy cat watching me carefully.
This was shot near Shandon Bells after we braved the heights of the tower to shoot the City of Cork. Now take your minds out of the gutter. 
I really must upload some of that day’s shoots to Pixie!
31 January 2009 - Opel
The badge of the rented car we had while the wipers of our car were being repaired a few weeks back.
It snowed too
A bicycle tied to a post on Patrick’s Street, Cork late last November.
I’m heading to London later today for my brother Donal’s stag. Yes yes, wild weekend, etc etc. I’ll have my camera too of course and I’m staying next to King’s Cross Railway Station so I thought it would be great to go photograph the area. Unfortunately it seems that photography in railway stations and the undergroundrequires a permit. In fact, photography in the UK has become a lot riskier in recent years unfortunately:
- Discordant Photography?
- Threats to Photographers’ Rights?
- Tube: Photography now costs £300 and requires prior permission
For an individual like myself a permit would cost £30 but such a permit requires up to 2 weeks notice. I wonder if they can charge me if I use a telephoto lens from the street when someone opens the front door?
16 January 2009 - Push the Car!
A modified car is pushed down Pana by the driver’s friends and a helpful passerby. When the engine finally coughed into life the oversize exhaust pipe emitted a very loud roar and his friends jumped in and sped off.
My wife Jacinta passed her driving test today. She drove us to the test center in Wilton, and even though I did my test years ago I couldn’t help but feel nervous. I think everyone who steps inside that single story building probably feels the same.
Remember your driving test? I remember a bus broke down right in front of me that I had to overtake. When I was asked to reverse around a corner a learner driver appeared and proceeded to reverse around the same corner. Twice!
After the second go, my tester urged me, “Quick, get around the corner before he comes back!”
Luckily I passed.
PS. Will Knott is spending a Sunday in St. James Cancer Unit in Dublin. They’re going to hold a fundraiser. They’re still looking for volunteers to photograph the event so please get in touch if you can spare a few hours on a Sunday afternoon.
