23 August 2009 - Laughter in the English Market
It’s not all doom and gloom for shopkeepers. These ladies were obviously having a great ol’ chat in this shop in the English Market last month.
Another shot from the WW photowalk on July 18th. I seem to be getting a couple of good ones out of that day after all!
22 August 2009 - The Lone Guitar
A street entertainer plays his guitar on Oliver Plunkett Street, Cork last month during the WW photowalk on the 18th.
I have the winners of the hotel rooms for next month’s photowalk. I picked them with the help of Alexa, Laughing Lion and Andrea who picked the first distinct numbers between 1 and 5. Thanks also to Laura, Elliot (might need rounding up?), Ron and Dena who also responded.
And, the winners are (cue drum roll, etc):
1. Pa Dineen
2. Kevin
3. Rudy
I better get on to Damien or Pat and tell them. They’ll probably have to get in touch with the winners next week!
13 August 2009 - Wide Open Spaces
The wide open space at the top of Patrick’s Street in Cork is a crossroads for traffic going along Cork’s busiest streets. It’d be a nightmare to cross without the pedestrian lights, not that stops people racing or even sauntering across in front of oncoming traffic.
11 August 2009 - H&M Cork
H&M, one of the larger tenants in the new shopping center being built here on Academy Street.
4 August 2009 - Woodford Bourne & Co
The top of Patrick’s Street in Cork is dominated by Mc Donalds, taking over from Mandy’s in the Woodford Bourne & Co building.
Check out this old advert from 1910. You can still recognise the building! Much more information about that structure can be found here. I vaguely remember Mandy’s but don’t remember it before that.
24 July 2009 - The 8A Bus
A man gets on the 8A bus to Curraheen on Patrick Street, Cork last Saturday.
This was on the way to the photowalk, walking up the street with Chris to where Will had double parked because he was driving home again. Chris had dropped his camera in the car when he got out!
23 July 2009 - 100% Cork
A butchers shop in The English Market was all decorated in white and red flags last Saturday. Did Cork have a big game last weekend?
22 July 2009 - Hurling on the beach
A man leans on a hurley while his son runs after the sliotar (off picture) down the beach at Garrettstown last March.
21 July 2009 - Out of the rain
A young lady steps out of the rain on Tuckey Street, Cork last Saturday. What you don’t see in this shot is the large group of photographers behind me, sheltering under the awning outside Tribes. A torrential rain shower had just passed and thankfully was the last we saw.
PS. Cork photowalkers! Upload your images to this group on Flickr! Or you can upload them to Pix.ie too. Make sure to tag them “cork”, “corkphotowalk”, “skphoto” and “worldwidephotowalk” for maximum exposure!
19 July 2009 - Beauty Treatment at The Body Shop
I’m still recovering after the photowalk yesterday! I took a quick look through my photos this evening and decided I’m not over the moon about any of them. A couple are ok, but there’s that little critical part of my mind saying, “crap, crap, crap, blah, ’s ok, focus is off, boring, what were you thinking?” as I look through them.
Anyway, here’s a shot from just before I met everyone else so I guess it can’t be counted really. Shame really as I have another shot of a gentleman getting a bus that I quite like in b/w.
Glad I had the wide angle lens on, caught this beauty treatment in front of The Body Shop on Patrick’s Street. Things are really desperate when shops are hawking their wares on the street trying to entice customers to buy. I saw a guy from Waterstones handing 3-for-2 leaflets outside Easons too. That’s smart. Target your competitor’s customers!
Oh check out Jamie’s post about the day. He has some great shots. Thanks again to everyone who came!
