The hat and the smoke

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007 by Donncha

I made this image of the guy in the on Patrick’s last February and I knew I had a great shot. I have no idea what those in the car are doing but they left shortly after.

Link love: Donal has a great portrait of some of the kids from his trip to Lesotho.

The Lady smokes

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007 by Donncha

On her break, she lights up a cigarette to relax. Who did she see?

The Magnum Blog has been running for a few weeks. I blogged the original opening of the site ages ago, but it wasn’t ready for prime time and it made it’s debut a short while ago. A few days ago, A faked portrait of my generation explored some of the issues surrounding photography. A legal case in Quebec in effect made photography illegal in Canada.
Here in , photographers do have the right to photograph , but if the subjects have an expectation of privacy then you’re not allowed photograph them. That could include a couple talking on the . That’s only the opinion of our Minister For Justice but unfortunately many of my street photos could be on shaky ground if that really was what the law said.

Oh, another photo of this tomorrow!

Man and pipe at the FM Store

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007 by Donncha

Outside the FM Store, St. Patrick . I was walking past when I spotted this scene unfold. I didn’t even see the in the old ’s hand until later, but I was very happy with what came out. If only that had turned around.

The FM Store is that noisy place at the end of the where Irish traditional or similar music blares out. The ESB Broadband Eircom picture I posted a while back is right behind where that old is standing.

Thankfully I wasn’t affected by the Flickr outage. I was asleep while it all happened!

Man on the street

Friday, September 1st, 2006 by Donncha

Since the ban was implemented can’t smoke in pubs which drives them on to the streets where the pub owner may have some furniture out for their convenience. No such luck on North Main for this . He’s enjoying his cigarette while sitting on an electricity junction box marked clearly “DANGER Keep Away”.
