Humour on the Street
Humour on the street was the subject of the latest Cork Street Photography Meetup. While I didn’t actually meet any of the group in town as I was with my son I did get a few photos, and one qualifies as humorous. 🙂
Eleven Years Apart
The photos above were shot eleven years apart. The first was shot in 2004 while the second was shot only a few weeks ago in early February, 2015. You may recognise the man. He sells newspapers in the St. Augustine’s Church, on the corner of Washington Street and Grand Parade. I presented him with a…
Lean on the Wall
Just outside the English Market, Grand Parade, Cork. Street photography is hard. It’s difficult to shoot candid photos of people on the street and get a picture in focus that is pin sharp. To aid me in that task I used the auto ISO setting on my camera, with a minimum shutter speed of an…
An Garda

The Construction of The Grand Parade Cork
Six years ago the Grand Parade in Cork was a major building site. I can’t remember how long construction lasted but it went on for quite some time as they tore up and changed the road layout, widened the pavements and generally made the street look a hundred times better than it was before! I’ve…
