  • Art for sale

    A black and white photo of an outdoor market scene in Skibbereen, Co Cork, Ireland. In the foreground, a table displays framed paintings, books, and art prints, with a floral-patterned backdrop featuring more artwork. Several people are visible: one man stands to the left in a striped shirt, another sits reading a book, and a group of people walk in the background. The setting is lively, with a mix of shoppers and vendors, and the market is held alongside a row of buildings and an old stone church.

  • Cork Rocks for Rory!

    A lively outdoor music performance at Gallagher Fest 2025 in Fitzgerald Park, Cork, featuring a harmonica player in striped trousers, a drummer in a denim shirt, and a guitarist with a colourful strap, all energetically engaged on stage with musical instruments and microphones visible, set against a backdrop of greenery and a white canopy.

    This year marks the 30th anniversary of the passing of Rory Gallagher, a legend in rock and roll, at a relatively young age.

    Today in Fitzgerald Park we were treated to a great music session on a beautiful, sunny day as the city celebrates Rory’s music and life. Here are a few photos from the gig. You can watch the entire thing on YouTube below. Watch carefully. You’ll spot me there a few times!

  • The Sun Inside Cork’s Historic Cathedral

    Step inside St Fin Barre’s Cathedral this week, and you’ll be greeted not just by the soaring Gothic arches and intricate stained-glass, but by a blazing sun right in the heart of Cork. The Helios exhibition, a six-metre-wide glowing sculpture by UK artist Luke Jerram, has transformed the cathedral’s nave into a cosmic spectacle for the Cork Midsummer Festival. The installation is more than just a visual treat. It’s a full sensory experience, with detailed solar imagery and a soundtrack of real NASA recordings of the sun. It’s a surreal and awe-inspiring blend of old and new: the ancient spirit of the cathedral meets the cutting edge of contemporary art, inviting visitors to reflect on the power and presence of the sun in a truly unique setting.

    The Helios sculpture is built to scale, with each centimetre representing 2,300 km of the real sun’s surface, and features detailed representations of sunspots and solar flares, all accompanied by a soundtrack of live NASA recordings of the sun.

  • Lifebuoy on Duty

    It’s reassuring to see lifebuoys at the beach, especially when the sea is rough. Unfortunately, not every person in distress in the water can be saved, as has happened at this beach in Youghal in the past.

  • Eggs for Sale

    A visit to the market in Skibbereen in 2019 was productive. I’ve posted a number of photos from that hour or so on here over the years, and there are still a few more to go.

    August 2019 feels like a lifetime ago.

  • Fresh Fruits and Fortune

    I went out one morning to photograph Palafrugell, walking around the town, exploring the streets. It’s a small town with narrow roads and tall buildings, with a few public squares dotted around. Near one is a vegetable market where I spotted a man buying a lottery card.

    The ONCE lottery, seen in the photo, is unique in Spain for being operated by the Organización Nacional de Ciegos Españoles, an organisation founded in 1938 to support the blind and visually impaired. Many of the lottery vendors, like the one pictured, are themselves visually impaired, making each ticket sale a contribution to social inclusion and support for people with disabilities.

  • A Striped Antelope at Valencia Zoo

    A young antelope stands in water at Bioparc Valencia, Spain.

    The animal in the photo is a sitatunga, a type of antelope known for its semiaquatic lifestyle. Its splayed hooves help it walk easily through marshy and swampy habitats.
