2 May 2009 - Golden Arches
The Golden Arches of the McDonald’s logo taunts me from a paper cup discarded on the pavement on Grand Parade, Cork.
29 April 2009 - Singer Sewing Centre

13 April 2009 - Attack of the Paddy’s Day Monster
Patty? I’ll give them Patty! A monster descends on a spectator at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Cork this year. I think she was amused!

27 March 2009 - Knott’s Badges
Will Knott has a fine collection of badges on his bag. Shot at the pre-iba09 photowalk a few weeks ago.
19 March 2009 - Tricolour Boy
A young boy sits on his dad’s shoulders to get a bird’s eye view of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Cork this year.
This image reminds me of a photo I shot of a girl last year. She was standing on a wall or something and up high too!
18 March 2009 - Patrick’s Day Spectator
A spectator watching the St Patrick’s Day Parade in Cork yesterday climbed up on the National Monument on the Grand Parade to get a better view. Lucky him.
As I said yesterday, it was easier and more enjoyable photographing the parade spectators than the parade!
17 March 2009 - La Fheile Phadraig i gCorcaigh
‘Se seo Lá Fhéile Phadraig inniu. Chuaigh me isteach sa chathair (gan an chlann) chun féachaint ar an paráid ach ni fhacha me moran de. Bhi an meid sin daoine ann. Ni raibh paisti in ann aon rud a fheisceant in aon chor. Bhi sé nios éasca agus bhain me nios mo taineamh as pictuiri a thogaint den lucht féachanta!
D’fhagas 50 noiméad tar éis do tosnu. Bhi my lamha tuirseach o beith ag chuir my camara os mo ceann agus chonaic me nios mo den paraid sa bhaile anseo ar an riomhaire… Ta suas le 300 griangraf togtha agam inniu ach nil an t-am agam obair ortha anocht. B’fheider i gceann cupla la. Nilim cinnte an mbeidh me ag dul ar ais an bhlain seo chugainn. 
PS. Go raibh maith agat irishdictionary.ie!
8 August 2008 - The National Monument
The National Monument, Grand Parade Cork was erected in 1906 to commemorate those who died in uprisings against the British in 1867 and 1798.
It’s one of the few parts of the Grand Parade that hasn’t changed much despite all the redevelopment of the city.
30 July 2008 - Looking for a parking space
You’re in town and desperately looking for a parking place. Where do you go? All the on-street parking has either been removed because of road works or taken by everyone who went shopping at 9am. Just look up. There’s a multi storey carpark somewhere near you. Probably.
