Photos at the Vatican
After the crowds have gone on a cold November day in 2017, I visited St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican for some photos, and came across two women taking advantage of the quiet for some photos. The sun had already set, and it wasn’t 5pm yet, but it was nice to be in such a…
The little business man
A man in a suit walks between buildings in Birmingham. The area is almost deserted, except for a single figure further back.
Surrounded by the sights of Cork
I wonder if this man checking his phone noticed the mural behind him in Bishop Lucey Park. In this fragment of the mural you can see the old Roches Stores building, Mangan’s Clock and Shandon Bells. You won’t see that mural there now. This is a snapshot of it from 2015.
White Sand and Dunes
The white sands of Maghera Beach in Donegal go on and on into the distance. Not many people visiting this beautiful day in 2017 when I was there.
The Hills off Inch Beach
Off Inch Beach in Co Kerry, in August 2015. A lovely sunset casts a glow on the hills opposite. A slow, long exposure blends the waves together.
Giant Bubbles in London
Away back in 2016, when the Rebel Street Photography group when to London for the day we passed by this man creating huge bubbles. Adults and kids alike were entertained!
The Dog’s Nose Knows
A dog pokes his nose out of a caravan in Santa Cruz. I think he wanted to come play with us as we walked past.
Dawn at the Bar & Grill
As the sun slowly rose over Santa Cruz, I found myself drawn to a quaint restaurant nestled along the beach front. The golden morning rays cast a mesmerizing shadow of a street lamp on the building, while inside, a diligent worker was already busy prepping for the day ahead.
A Morning Walk in Santa Cruz
Way back in 2013, at the Automattic Grand Meetup, I took an early morning walk along the promenade in Santa Cruz. The sun had already risen, but the world was quiet, and I enjoyed a solitary walk before the day’s work had to be done.
The Woman with the Red Fan
She wandered on the street, holding a red fan to block the sun from her face. It was a sunny day, and the sun was shining brightly. But she didn’t mind. She enjoyed the breeze, and the sight. She enjoyed how they made her feel calm, and relaxed. She wore cool, white clothing that contrasted…
Motionless in speed
I watch the subway train speed by, feeling a rush of wind and sound. It’s like a flash of light, but I can see the faces of the people inside. They look like they’re in a hurry or a trance. I wonder what their lives are like.
Unexpected Irish in Madrid
There’s something about people and newspapers that fascinates me. Maybe it’s the contrast between the printed words and the digital screens that dominate our lives. Perhaps it’s the nostalgia for a simpler time when news was not a constant stream of updates and alerts. Perhaps it’s the curiosity about what stories catch their attention and…
