A Masked Break
At the height (one of them, anyway) of the COVID19 pandemic in July 2020, someone takes a break on the street. He still wears his mask, despite being outside and nowhere near anyone. Numbers of COVID19 infections are rising again, unfortunately. Schools are back after the summer. It’s so depressing. Aperture ƒ/2.4 Camera SM-G965F Focal…

Boolaboom at the GPO
Boolaboom, a “super-sized brass and percussion big-band” played on Oliver Plunkett Street, in front of the GPO and they were great! Aperture ƒ/3.5 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 24mm ISO 6400 Shutter speed 1/60s

The Service at An Brog
We saw The Service play in An Bróg last night and they were as good as they’ve always been. Best moment was, ‘For anyone under, uh, 50, THIS IS SKA!’ I’ll admit I didn’t know Madness were a ska band. My wife introduced me to the wider world of that genre of music! Aperture ƒ/3.5…

Traffic and housing
The centre of Cork City will become a traffic free zone this Saturday for a few hours. The area visible in the photo above will still have cars in it, but it’ll be interesting to see what effect this will have on the day. Visible in the background, of course, is “What is home?” by…

Justice
The word JUSTICE painted on the side of the hoarding surrounding the derelict site on Sullivan’s Quay in Cork seems appropriate. So many homeless in the city, and this huge area is still a heap of rubble in the middle of the city. Not that whatever gets built there will help the homeless. It was…

A Street Performance for the kids
At the end of August, North Main Street closed to traffic as a carnival was held there. A huge crowd of adults and children descended on the street and the place was buzzing. 🙂 I wonder if this could be the same man I photographed on a unicycle in 2006? Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal…

Reading the Newspaper
A long time before smart phones were invented, most people read newspapers. Here’s a man reading such a paper device, back in July 2004, in Galway. Anyone recognise what broadsheet he was reading? Aperture ƒ/4 Camera CYBERSHOT Focal length 36.1mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/320s
