Woodstock Dreams in the Hall of Bones
Two visitors to the Natural History Museum in London admire the huge skeleton in the main hall. The Natural History Museum’s most famous skeleton used to be “Dippy,” a diplodocus that dominated that main hall for 112 years. In 2017, it was replaced with a blue whale skeleton (which is what you see here). Dippy…

Benion makes a save
It was October 2007, and I was in Cobh to photograph the game between Cobh Ramblers and Dundalk FC. The visitors were beaten 1-0 but Chris Bennion stopped this attempt on goal. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve photographed a football game, but this was the first one, a long…

The new Bishop Lucey Park
I’m not a big fan of brown, and there’s a lot of brown in the new Bishop Lucey Park. I do really like what they did with the old wall. That’s the slightly rough-looking grass bit in the second picture of my gallery. The old park had this cut off from the public behind railings,…

You’d be forgiven if you’re not familiar with either area, as they aren’t exactly the most trafficked areas in the city. If you’re curious, Lambley’s Lane is off to the side of the old…

The Clash Meets Coffee Culture

Verde Synchronicity
This is one of those delightful urban photography moments where colour, context, and coincidence align to create something more interesting than the sum of its parts. A woman in a green T-shirt and shorts, on an Uber bicycle with green basket, cycling in front of a shop bearing the name “VERDE & Co Ltd”. Verde…

Celtic Tiger Cranes and the Elysian Rising
Cork City during the height of the Celtic Tiger era, captured in 2007 when Ireland’s construction boom was at its peak and the city skyline was dominated by cranes building new office blocks and apartments, including the Elysian Tower. It would all come crashing down financially within a year. Some apartments in the Elysian were…

The Three Sisters on the Dingle Peninsula in Co. Kerry. The sun had just sunk below the horizon and beyond a cloud bank at the horizon but the sky was still glowing a lovely soft yellow glow. Aperture ƒ/16 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 49mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/6s
