The cocederos, the shallow ponds where water evaporates and salt is collected, visible in the foreground in front of the fin whale skeleton at the Salt Museum in Fuerteventura. Shout out to Finbarr for the lift to the museum that morning! 🙂

The recent rains in Fuerteventura have transformed the island. If you look at this location in Betancuria on Google Maps you’ll see a dusty field, and the street view shows mostly bare ground with bushes planted here and there. In the background is La Casa del Queso where we enjoyed some coffee and sandwiches. Locals…

Ironically, this was taken on the nicest day of a recent holiday in Fuerteventura. A cold wind from the north blew across the island for the previous week, keeping temperatures down and contributing to a couple of rain showers. The island benefited from it with wild flowers and grass growing on the hills and fields…

Early one morning outside the salt museum in Fuerteventura as the sun shone on nearby homes and a caravan parked next to the 30kph speed limit sign.

This is one of those brilliant street photography moments that you absolutely cannot plan or manufacture. I’m minding my own business photographing a mural in Castillo Caleta de Fuste in Fuerteventura when suddenly I hear this voice behind me ask, “Why aren’t you taking MY photo?” I turn around and there are these two absolutely…

The mounted fin whale skeleton is clearly visible in a photo of the museo de la sal (salt museum) in Fuerteventura. The museum was closed at this early hour and the area was roped off with stern warnings to buy tickets at the museum, but we still managed to get a few photos. The salt…

Sometimes the best photographs are the ones where you strip everything away and just let light do the talking. Simple.

Blue hour is that magical window between sunset and full darkness when the sky becomes this gorgeous gradient from deep blue to warm orange. That’s what I saw on a cold December evening looking across the River Lee at Bachelor’s Quay.

I like photographing multi-storey car parks. Usually there’s a good view from the top floor, and I’ll always find something interesting inside too.

The buildings at the end of Shandon Street reflect in the calm waters of the River Lee, Cork.

You know that weird liminal period between Christmas and whenever someone finally bothers to take the decorations down? This is it, captured in one slightly surreal shot on Cornmarket Street. That tree was still up on January 2nd, but I expect it’ll be gone in a day or two now. The light effect on the…
