Through a break in the crowd I spotted a little girl watching a band play on the street in front of Brown Thomas.

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 of the boy and woman it works much better in black and
white.

Walking Patrick’s Bridge
Pictured walking along Patrick’s Bridge, Cork on Saturday evening. What really attracts me to this image, despite it’s obvious flaws, is the figure in the dead-centre. There’s light all around yet here’s a walking shadow.
Trees and Lights
On a trip to our local shopping centre last night I noticed these lovely twinkly blue lights on the small trees outside. All I had to do was set the camera to aperture priority mode, set it to f/22 and wait for a carto come along!
Making a Sale
Pictured at the Fota House Craft Fair at the end of November.
A Very Keane Santa
Santa gets everywhere these days, especially wherever there’s a buck to be made!
Running around Eighteen Turns
We went down to Fota House a few weeks ago to see Eighteen Turns created by Daniel Libeskind. We weren’t as lucky as Ryan as there were parents with kids running and screaming around the piece all afternoon.
What better way to remember the day than the photo above eh?
