O’Briens Sandwich Bar
Filed in Black and White, Cork, Ireland, People, Photography, Photos, Sigma 10-20, Street, Urban“O’Briens’ HQ placed in examinership” according to this news report yesterday.

Filed in Cork, Equipment, Ireland, Oliver Plunkett Street, Photography, Sigma 10-20, WordsHmm. I’m seething! I’m angry! I’m pissed off! Yesterday I explained why I “reserve all rights” on my photographs. I want control over how and where they are used. I don’t want a photo of my 7 month old son to appear in an inappropriate context.
