Sharbat Gula and My Cat

Sharbat Gula and Puss

Twenty years ago I took a photo of the family cat, Puss, and The National Geographic book, “The Photographs”. That’s the one featuring the striking portrait of Sharbat Gula on the front cover.

The Weir in Ballincollig Regional Park

The Weir in Ballincollig Regional Park

On a particularly foggy morning in December 2002 I wandered around Ballincollig Regional Park. I photographed the weir that morning in the mist. Wasn’t much to be heard except the rushing of the water.

Some fifteen years later the centre of the weir would collapse. The OPW may rebuild it at a cost of over €1m. Hopefully that happens.
