Coats and Hat It’s unusual to see a man wearing a hat like the one above these days. I made this photo on Patrick Street a few weeks ago and love the different textures and the faces!

Out Of Frame Patrick Street, Cork.

Lady on the phone Sometimes you’ll take a photo and think it’s not great. Occasionally you’ll spot a photo within the photo. I was attempting to photograph two lads walking down the street but when I saw the resulting image they were blurred by motion and out of focus. A closer look later showed this…

A flock of birds on the Lee I love the old style nature of this shot. The fog that day made the far distance disappear and the middle distance was shrouded in white!

Girls on the town Pictured on Winthrop Street a few days ago.

Run around and around! Children running around a labyrinth on The Grand Parade. Schools, churches, community groups and businesses around Cork were asked to design them as part of the closing ceremonies of Cork City of Culture 2005.

Audience Through a break in the crowd I spotted a little girl watching a band play on the street in front of Brown Thomas. Nollaig Shona daoibh! (translation)

Scapa Flo, Blackpool Shopping Center Scapa Flo played for free in aid of the Belarussian Orphanage Project. Pictured here are 3 of the band members.

Christmas Goods For Sale At Blackpool shopping center there was a charity event for the Belarussian Orphanage Project. A band played inside and just inside the main doors they were selling Christmas cards and small gifts. Not sure if I should have left this as a colour image but I think as a character study…

A rose by any other colour One of the Blarney Castle roses. The original was very saturated and detail was lost in the bright red of the petals. Making a monochrome image made the detail stand out and drops became visible again. A little dodge and burn to finish.
