Joyce and the Spire
Joyce and the Spire James Joyce, forever forced to look upon the Spire on O'Connell Street Dublin. Here's a humorous look at the names of the statues and monuments in Dublin. I had heard that the Spire was nicknamed the "Stiletto in the Ghetto", but I hadn't heard it called, "North Pole"! Overhead wires destroy...
Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet
Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet A Boeing 747 is readied for another flight, with hand luggage on board. This is the plane that flew me to London Heathrow from San Francisco. I shot the photo through the plate glass of the departures lounge. It was converted to b/w and dodged/burned afterwards. The panoramic format works really...
Six Apart Mark
Six Apart Mark Niall Kennedy drove myself and Mark Jaquith around on a small sight seeing tour of the local attractions in San Francisco after WordCamp last Saturday. A visit to the offices of Six Apart proved to be too good a thing to pass up so we posed for a few photos on their...

Tenacious in Cork
Tenacious in Cork (print) The sailing vessel, Tenacious, docked in Cork a few weeks back. I spotted the top masts over the buildings of the quayside while we went home so I had to stop! She's a beautiful ship and apparently the largest wooden tall ship built in England in the last 100 years! She...

The Grand Parade Construction Site
The Grand Parade Construction SIte Another view down the Grand Parade and a look at the construction site that takes up most of the street! Well known shop fronts such as the Singer Sewing Centre are visible in the background. In sharp contrast, the new Soho bar and restaurant is right next to it. It's...
Beer kegs on the quay
Beer kegs on the quay Beer kegs on Union Quay. The Lobby is open again isn't it? Yum, I like Erdinger! This was taken only moments after this one which probably explains why a keg is sitting at the base of a life ring pole. It's not some weird "save him and feed him beer"...
The Puppy, the cat and the calf
The Puppy and the calf Sasha took quite an interest in a field of calves across the road from her home last night, and they in her! This particular calf was braver than the rest and sniffed at Sasha, Oscar, me and whoever was at the gate! Ali, the cat, didn't think much of the...
Run for the bus!
Run for the bus! A bit of an experiment this one. As I walked along Merchant's Quay this woman and her husband barrelled past. The picture of her husband is simply a blur but I like what I got of her. The streaky lines are caused by an excessive dodge/burn tool but I like the...
