  • Fly in the air

    I was sitting on the ground photographing a group practising Capoeira in the Peace Park when I spotted a fly hovering right in front of me! Needless to say I tried to shoot him and this is the result!

  • Capoeira Guy

    This could be Graduado Popeye, an instructor in Capoeira in Cork (I never asked, but a leaflet handed to me has his name on it). He was able to jump up and forward, twist himself around mid-air and come down facing the way he had come! He was accompanied by other students of this Brazilian martial art and performed other manoeuvres. Impressive!

  • I’m off for two weeks

    For the next two weeks posts will be automated. It’s not possible to future post photos to Flickr so I had to write a small shell script to email Flickr with my photo, a subject, and a description every night.
    Check out “mpack” which is the heart of the script. Hopefully I’ll upload the script here when I come back and have time to explain how it works!

  • World Book Day Singer (1/4)

    Cork celebrated World Book Day a little late but it didn’t stop the organisers putting on a great show!
    This gentleman performed for the crowds outside the City Library and attempted to serenade many of the females who walked past.

    This is what the street entertainer in yesterday’s picture was looking at! 🙂
