Faces in the crowd
This is not just a trick of the zoom lens. The crowds in town on Saturday were like those around Christmas. Christmas lights are already up, but not lit, and there was an urgent air about the place.
This is the second shot of this scene and it turned out much better because of the human touch – the faces in the crowd.
Remembering Cork
The corner of Patrick’s Quay and Patrick’s Bridge in the 1930s and 2005. I barely remember Merchants Quay as a street lined with old 3 storey houses before the large shopping complex was built there and opened in 1989.

Waving at you!
He was holding a promotional sign in the middle of Patrick Street so I don’t feel too bad about looking over his shoulder and snapping this shot!
Patrick Street Lights
Car lights become abstract lasers of light along the main street of Cork City.
In unrelated news, this morning I had to go to the hospital because something got stuck underneath the eyelid of my left eye yesterday. I could feel it there, my eye was weeping, it was sore and annoying. Thankfully I got to see a doctor after only a wait of an hour or two. He quickly removed the foreign material and sent me packing with a prescription for eye drops which I have to take for 5 days. Yes, I took a camera, and got a great snap of an older gentleman at the local shopping center which I must post tomorrow when I have time. Now to catch up on work..
Man in the middle
Waiting to cross Patricks Street, Cork.
No Litter!
People are dirty and they litter our streets with packaging, plastic wrappers and junk.
Anyone For Jazz?
This weekend (today is a bank holiday) is the Cork Jazz Festival. People from all over the world come to Cork to participate – to play, to listen, or just get drunk and enjoy the festivities!
Cork Boi!
Cork City People
A city is made up of all sorts of people.
