A Man and His Cigarette
During a walk through the bustling streets of Malaga, I happened upon a man who was seated upon the steps of a nearby building. As I approached him, I observed that he appeared to be deep in thought, his gaze fixed upon the cigarette he was smoking. Despite the cool temperature, he seemed content and…
Fridays For Future in Cork
I was in town today and came across a Fridays For Future protest on Grand Parade. They’re a group of very passionate young people protesting at the state of our environment. Their aim is to demand that the Irish government take action on climate change and climate injustice in Ireland. They have an uphill fight,…
A Relaxed Coffee Shop
Soft, colourful light pours through circular windows, illuminating the coffee shop’s bar and floor. A man casually leans against the bar, waiting to settle his bill for his drink. The gentle lighting filtering through the windows accentuates the coffee shop’s peaceful and tranquil ambiance.
Diego: Small Dog, Big Adventure
Diego, our tiny Chihuahua, gazes up at me with his soulful eyes, his tiny tail wagging excitedly. It’s clear that he’s eager for his daily walk, a time when he can explore the world and take in all the scents and sounds around him. Despite his diminutive size, Diego is a ball of energy and…
Digital Secrets in the Shadows
Against a wall adorned with white arrows, a young woman with foxy red hair leans motionless, her face illuminated by the eerie glow of her phone. As shadows creep in from the corners of the scene, she remains lost in her digital world, completely engrossed in the screen. The bright red woolly hat atop her…
The Beatlebums in Coughlans
Last Friday night, my wife and I had the pleasure of attending a Beatles tribute band called The Beatlebums at Coughlans Bar on Douglas Street. It was truly a fantastic performance by a talented group of musicians! They played many of the Beatles’ classic hits, as well as a few lesser-known B-sides that I wasn’t…
Palm trees in the sunset
In this scene, a serene moment is captured as palm trees are silhouetted against the stunning orange and pink hues of a setting sun. The warm glow of the sky sets a peaceful and calming mood, contrasting against the harshness of the container ship in the distance. The ship is barely visible, with only the…
The Labour of Cork

A near miss
As a woman was crossing the road, she noticed an ambulance approaching with its sirens blaring. The ambulance had broken a red light but wasn’t driving particularly fast. She looked both ways and realized she had the right of way and could continue walking across the road. As the ambulance got closer, she waved nervously…
The Wandering Dog
A dog is tied up in the doorway of a pet shop in Malaga. She’s not always tied up and likes to visit the vegan café down the street. A lovely, friendly dog, but she has food on her mind the whole time!
Waves crash on rocks in a mist
Waves crash on rocks but all you see is a mist in this 4 second long exposure shot. That’s Roches Point Lighthouse in the background, of course, because this photo was taken in Church Bay last year.
The Babbling Head
One of the heads in a fabulous art exhibit in The Crawford Art Gallery in Cork. This head was only one of many, all suspended in the air by thin threads, and with a mouth that opens and closes continuously. Unfortunately, I’m not sure who the artist is who created this installation. If anyone knows,…
