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!
A few photos taken in Crosshaven in May 2023 when I visited there with Blarney Photography Club. A bit of fun with swirling the camera around as I took the photos.
Two skateboarders on Grand Parade in Cork, away back in 2021. The guy sitting down was wrecked tired by the looks of him.
This was the derelict site of the demolished tax office in Cork, but back in February 2019. What difference 6 years? Nothing really except they’ve removed the rubble. It’s still an ugly eye sore. They really should have put a park there if they’re not going to do anything with it.
I had some fun in Bantry today, experimenting with a new exposure mode I haven’t really used in the past, Spot Highlight. I came across it in this video made by Sean Tucker. In this mode, the camera will expose for the highlights, sacrificing shadow detail to make sure that bright areas contain detail and…
It’s a commonly held belief that Americans don’t know how to drive around roundabouts, but when I visited that country last year (in the before times), I saw at least 2 roundabouts and local people had no problems traversing them.

An anonymous man in a suit at the Dingle Races a few years ago. I’m pretty sure he was sucking a lollipop.
In a field behind Wine Strand on the Dingle Peninsula, I spotted some hay bales. The sun had already set, but the sky wasn’t very interesting. The lay of the land cast an interesting shadow and I like photographing bales whenever I see them.
Last Sunday, the first Sunday in February, was a glorious one. The sun shone out of an almost cloudless sky. It was cold, but the sun brought the crowds, and there were cars parked all along the coast road, from the hotel to the nearby car park at the other end of the beach.
Adi Roche, the founder and voluntary CEO of Chernobyl Children International, was a prominent figure in Irish media for many years, tirelessly advocating for children affected by the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Her passionate commitment to this cause left an indelible mark on countless Irish people, including myself when she visited my school in the…
From Dooneen Pier on a lovely April day in 2022 I saw the Three Sisters off the distance. The sea was fairly calm, and the evening was warm for that time of the year. I think I spent a good hour wandering up and down the pier taking photos, until darkness descended, and I went…
Micky O’s Craic House was still standing when I took this photo in January, 2016. The location is now, of course, the Rezz Cork Hotel.
