  • Walking Into the Storm on the Dunes

    A storm was rapidly approaching but the sun was still shining when I took this. Moments later the dark clouds in the background had blown over, leaving some of us drenched, and then it was bright and sunny again.

  • This is Dunnes in 2008

    The Dunnes Stores on St. Patrick’s Street, Cork was only a muddy construction site in March 2008. Only the distinctive yellow front of the building remained at this time.

  • The Sacred and the Street: St. Augustine’s Before It Closes

    Photograph taken from inside the entrance porch of St Augustine's Church on Grand Parade, Cork, looking out through the open dark blue panelled doors onto the street. A yellow CAUTION WET FLOOR sign stands on the tiled floor of the porch. Beyond the doorway, pedestrians walk past on the pavement, a pigeon stands to the left, and the shopfronts of Phelans Pharmacy and other businesses are visible across Grand Parade. Bare winter trees and a bus shelter are in the middle ground.

    The news broke at the end of last month that St Augustine’s Church in Cork would be closing later this year.

    Despite walking past there hundreds of times while out walking I’ve only been in there a couple of times. I happened to call in about a week before that announcement and took the photos above.

    The building has been featured here before. Jeremiah Cronin sold the Echo in this porch for many years until he retired during the pandemic. He passed away in 2022.

    I wonder what will happen to the building now?

  • The Wheels Go Around

    Photograph of people gathered around a red novelty photo booth shaped like a small vehicle on a London street. Three women wearing white headscarves stand at the booth's curtained entrance, one in a pink top and jeans, one in a long blue dress, and one in a pink outfit. A boy in a grey hoodie and a younger boy in a green cap and grey jacket plays with the red wheels on the side. Other pedestrians stand nearby. A London landmark backdrop is visible through the booth's window.

    I love when I spot something like this happening on the street. It happened near the London Eye where there’s a novelty photo booth shaped like a bus. Two kids were at the back, with one pointing at the wheels, and then they go and spin the wheels!

  • Going Underground at Piccadilly Circus

    Every photographer who visits London takes a shot of Piccadilly Circus. It’s practically a rite of passage. The neon screens, the crowds, and the Eros statue somewhere off to the side are iconic. So is the famous UNDERGROUND branding seen all over the city so I wanted to get a mix of the two in this photo.

  • Arms Wide, Knives Out

    The audience at Covent Garden really appreciated this knife juggler. He’d just been throwing knifes in the air above the body of a willing volunteer. I’m not sure if I’d have volunteered!

  • A Sea of Heads and a Sky of Lanterns

    This is what Chinatown in London looks like on a Saturday evening in July. A sea of tourists as far as the eye can see, which isn’t very far unless you’re tall.

  • 19:22 on a July Evening in Chinatown

    Chinatown was our last destination in London last year, but I think from the photo it’s obvious where we were. Lanterns and the T-shirt this woman was wearing make that clear!

  • Silhouette at the Harbour Mouth

    There’s a narrow window just after sunset when the sky goes absolutely wild, when the sun has dropped below the horizon but the light is still bouncing around in the atmosphere, and you get these incredible bands of colour stacking up from warm orange through pink into deep purple and navy.

    The navigation beacon at the end of the pier in Ballycotton hadn’t come on yet so it provided a subject for a silhouette against this gorgeous sky on a lovely August evening last year.

  • Run! A Stag Defends His Harem

    Last October we spotted a herd of deer, both stags and hinds, in a field. It wasn’t long before another stag wandered in and decided to break up the party.

    After running around for a bit, the stag ran through the group of hinds and then walked away, trailing 3 of them!
