Evening Light on Sheep’s Head
Sunset on the north side of Sheep’s Head last night, looking over towards the Beara Peninsula. I didn’t expect much colour, but a break in the clouds let the light through. It was gone within minutes, but not before I had shot it dozens of times!

Sitting in the Sun at Bantry Market
The van was parked side on to the sun on a warm February day in Bantry last year. Sun shone for a brief moment and I caught a moment where he looked up from his phone.

The Stones Arches of Ballydehob
The tide was full, and the water had gone completely flat, so the stone arches came out twice in the frame. We were lucky. The weather back home in Blarney was atrocious, with rain falling from cloudy skies.

Shandon from the Dunnes Stores restaurant
The best view of Shandon in the city centre is from the restaurant upstairs in Dunnes Stores on St Patrick’s Street, above the trays and the tea urns. I stared out the window, above the building site that is the Crawford Gallery.

Zebra Print in Whitehall
The Trans+ Pride filled the streets of central London in July 2025, and after the march we were walking up past Whitehall accompanied by many who took part. There was plenty of glamour and beautiful people around, and I was so happy that this lady allowed me to take a photo of her!

The Horses of Helios
Four bronze horses rear out of a fountain at the bottom of Haymarket and they’re just the background of a busy day in London.

Heads Down on the River Lee
Two swans were feeding at the edge of the Lee Fields when I stopped. Both had their necks down in the shallows, working the seeds and crumbs in the same posture a second or two apart. It was exceptionally bright so I exposed for the highlights and everything else went dark.

Winter Evening at Piccadilly
Piccadilly Circus in February 2009, from the pavement by the Underground entrance. The advertising dates it more than the coats do: TDK and Sanyo across the curve, both long gone from that wall now. The lights were still separate panels then, before the single wraparound screen replaced them in 2017. Nobody in the foreground is…

A Granite Seat in Piccadilly Circus
The screens above Piccadilly Circus run all day and almost nobody in the crowd looks up at them, apart from tourists gawking at everything. I thought I had photos of Piccadilly Circus from before they upgraded their advertising screens. A quick search for “Piccadilly” in my Immich archive found the photos I took in 2009,…

I should be free to feel
Two Met officers stood right in front of me, so I had to read the placard over their shoulders. Someone had hand-lettered it in the pink, white and blue of the trans flag, packing the words in tighter as the board ran out, and the last line vanishes behind a head anyway. At Trans+ Pride…
