  • A thirsty dog at the beach

    A woman lets her dog drink water from the showers at a sandy beach while a boy, barely in shot, lets water run down his face nearby. A sign in the background says "NO DOGS 9AM - 5PM" and another says, "EMERGENCY LANE NO PARKING". A young man walks across the sand with her shoes in his hand, while a couple far off in the distance part of the background of a beach. Houses look onto the beach.

    It’s thirsty work playing on a beach when you’re a dog. You need water to quench your thirst after chasing a ball all afternoon.

    There weren’t too many dogs at the beach, but I was surprised to see them. This was also the only place on our trip to the US that we saw dog excrement on the ground, nestled in the sand at the shoreline. It’s great to play or walk with your dog on a beach, but there’s a responsibility to clean up after them too.

    Beautiful beach too, looking out on the Pacific, an oil platform and Anacapa Island in the distance.

  • Rooftop Shadow

    The shadow of a palm tree visible on the orange tiled roof of a building. A blue sky with wispy clouds can be seen above

    Walking down a street in Santa Barbara, I spotted the shadow of a palm tree cast on a nearby roof. It attracted my attention because, while these roof tiles are common in that city, they’re not that common in Ireland and I liked the shape of the shadow too.

    Everything just seems brighter and bigger in California!

  • Fluffy in the sun

    Fluffy, a beautiful calico cat living her best life in California, basks in the sun in the backyard she, and only she, controls. She loves rolling over in the sun, mistress of all she surveys, while inside, her play tunnel is her domain.

  • A bride in Santa Barbara

    A photographer takes a photo of a bride in a corridor while her new husband looks on, and some tourists in the background film with a smartphone. A man is walking into the frame from the back.

    In and around the Court House in Santa Barbara, there were a number of wedding groups having their photos taken. This is one recently married couple I spotted in the corridor outside the main Court House. A lovely setting for photos.

    I wonder if that couple in the background knew them, or were they just curious tourists like me?

  • A reflection in Pennys

    A woman wearing a black and white patterned jacket leans against the window of a clothes shop. Other people walk in and a male head can just be seen over her shoulder.

    The black and white pattern of this jacket caught my eye and gave me the idea of shooting a reflection here.

  • A cry for help

    A woman walks past an Eircom phone box vandalised by graffiti and displaying pro-Gaza stickers.

    These Eircom phone boxes are soon going to be a thing of the past as they are being removed, but this one had two large stickers against the war in Gaza that caught my eye.

  • Another tourist in Malaga

    A tourist looks up at something unseen out of frame in Malaga, Spain.

    Malaga has a huge tourist industry and is great for street photography. I think I’ve posted at least five images over the years from this very street, and have a couple more to go, too!

  • Waiting on Henry Street

    Two men lean against a pole. One checks his phone, while the other one looks off in the distance.

    There are many ways of waiting on a busy shopping street.

  • Friends hanging around

    A group of young people sitting on a window sill down a side street. A woman and two men. They each have phones and the man on the right is speaking to someone outside the frame.

    Friends sitting on a window sill, in front of a shop, in Valencia one afternoon in October 2023.

  • The Boats of Youghal

    Five boats tied to the quay in Youghal on a dull, misty afternoon.

    These boats were tied up in Youghal when we visited in November 2021.

  • Fog descends on Roche’s Point Lighthouse

    Fog flows over the landscape and will soon cover the small town and the lighthouse. The water of Cork Harbour can be seen in the foreground.

    Fog flowed in from the sea on a warm day in March, 2011. It almost covered the lighthouse, and it will do so a few minutes later.

  • The remains of the shop

    A woman walks past the front entrance of the old Roches Stores, or later Debenhams, but now a derelict building in the heart of the city. The building is surrounded by hoarding.

    All that remains of Debenhams is the faded imprint of the sign on the front of its previous location on St. Patrick’s Street, Cork.
