Tartan Baby While we supped our coffee in Starbucks in Marshall Fields a baby and her mother were busy playing and enjoying each other’s company at the next table. Jacinta asked if I could take a photo of them and this is the result!

What a big smile!
What a big smile! While wandering the streets of Chicago taking in the sights a young boy and his mother passed me. He had the biggest grin on his face when he saw my camera and smiled gleefully when I took this shot! Pictured in front of H&M on the Magnificent Mile near the John…

Fade to white
Fade to white A building on South Wabash, Chicago. I was on my way to Central Camera and just loved the leading lines when I looked up! I debated with myself about removing the building on the right but left it in for context. Wabash runs parallel with State Street but is much narrower and…

Bent
Bent Walk by the River Lee in Cork City and you’ll come across vertical bars embedded in the river wall. Here’s one that was bent out of shape by some force, possibly a long time ago. In the background is the Cork Opera House. The texture and grain of the bar appeals to me. It’s…

Get There, Go Anywhere
Get There, Go Anywhere Bicycle locked up and bus arriving on the Grand Parade a few nights ago. It’s been quite a while since I used either forms of transport. What caught your eye first about this image? The poster, the foreground or the bus?

On the beach at Youghal
On the beach at Youghal Last weekend we visited Youghal in Co. Cork. I haven’t been on the beach there for years and I had quite forgotten how big it is! It was nice for a walk, but we were frozen from the cold wind. I was just in town. Big Brother were supposed to…
