Young Cork supporters take the tour bus around the city a few weeks ago. Cork plays Kerry isn’t it today in a replay? Yes, I’m a big sports fan, honest.

What do scientologists know about mental health?
Filed in Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, People, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200, Signs, St Patrick's Street, Street, UrbanA few weeks ago Saor Patrol played in Cork on Patrick’s Street, in front of an appreciative audience who clapped and cheered to the drums and beat of this lively Scottish band. Unfortunately they were there to publicize an event, “Mental Health Awareness Event” organised by the Church of Scientology, or at least a front [...]

Your future: wear a beard
Filed in Advertising, Black and White, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Photos, St Patrick's Street, Street, UrbanImportant decisions in life. What job will I do in the future and should I wear a beard? I’ve got the job bit covered, but would I look better with a beard? I think there’d be trouble if I tried growing one! The wearbeard sticker really caught my eye. It’s just weird to create a [...]

Fred Fans Go Wild!
Filed in Black and White, Cork, Ireland, People, Photos, St Patrick's Street, Street, UrbanTwo enthusiastic fans of Cork band, Fred, when they played at the May Day celebrations in Cork back in 2005. I loved their first album, but the second one was just more of the same. Great to hear and watch live though!

Fancy ass public transport
Filed in Black and White, Candid, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, People, St Patrick's Street, Street, Urban, VehiclesOK, so it’s not quite a bus, but it’s a stretch limo. I saw it again today cruising up and down Patrick’s Street with the rear window open a crack. I’d hate to see that try to navigate a tight bend!

Big smile for the Parade!
Filed in Candid, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, People, Photos, Sigma 18-200, St Patrick's Street, St. Patrick's Day, Street, UrbanBig smile for the Parade! I think it’s safe to say this was the biggest smile of St. Patrick’s Day Parade 2008 for me. Nobody in the crowd was smiling anyway. They were all too squashed in or straining to see over the heads of those in front.

I can see the parade!
Filed in Candid, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Look up, People, Photos, Sigma 18-200, St Patrick's Street, St. Patrick's Day, Street, UrbanI can see the parade! Some people go to all lengths to watch the St. Patrick’s Day Parade as these kids show. Congrats to my friends John and Ann on the birth of their son Caelin yesterday. You’re lives are going to change *so much* but you’re going to have a great time with the [...]

When I took this shot I didn’t even see them! I was concentrating on the kids in the foreground with their flags. I think they frame the street sign rather nicely and ties in with the name [...]

The Grumpy Lepruachan
Filed in Black and White, Candid, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, People, Photos, Sigma 18-200, St Patrick's Street, St. Patrick's Day, Street, UrbanThe Grumpy Lepruachan If you’re going to sit up on a high wall wearing a funny hat you could at least look happy that you have a great position to see the St Patrick’s Day Parade. No, I didn’t see this fella smile at all. A year before the wall was taken over by photographers [...]
