I’m here for the Beamish
A man with his pint of Beamish seated at The Roundy a few years ago.
A Man and His Dog
It’s so unusual to see a dog in Cork City, but then I saw this beautiful Border Collie. His attention on something off-camera.
The Edge of the Lake
Another one from that walk in Kenmare a few days ago. I spotted this couple walking by with their dog, and then they stopped a distance away with the dog exploring the shallows. I love silhouettes, so this photo came to be.
A bench by the Lake
A small bench is nestled among the trees in Kenmare, on the shores of Kenmare Bay. What caught my eye immediately were the three trees surrounding it. They frame the bench in a pleasing way, the bare branches providing a skeletal, natural, surrounding to the man made bench.
Kerry’s Quiet Corner
The bench here at the end of a spit of land near Kenmare, Co Kerry has a plaque that says: HE NEVER LOOKS FOR PRAISES HE WAS NEVER ONE TO BOAST HE JUST GOES ON QUIETLY WORKING FOR THOSE HE LOVES THE MOST OUR DAD The pillar has a plaque that has some writing I…
A Golden Moment

A customer in the food market in Malaga talks to a vendor before filling his order for olives.
Woman on Cobbles
A woman watches the tram I’m travelling on pass by her on a narrow street in Lisbon.
Dogs and their Humans
We were in Youghal recently on a cold and blustery afternoon, and so were lots of others with their dogs. Not in this photos is Diego, but he was keeping a close eye on the other dogs!
City of Shadows and Light
Buildings loom overhead at a corner of Pl. de la Constitución in Malaga.
The Grand Parade Preacher
This woman was screaming into a microphone on Grand Parade, Cork, for the last few years. This is a photo from 2022, but I remember seeing her in late 2024 too. I could never make out what she was saying as the sound was distorted so much by the volume on her speaker. I hardly…
Classical Contemplation
Jaysus, I nearly dropped me phone when I spotted this scene in the Musée d’Orsay like. There’s your man on the left, pure glued to his iPhone, probably updating his Insta or whatever, and the other fella hanging on to some pamphlet or other. And there in the middle, this massive marble yoke, probably worth…
