I was there too
The Family Shenanigans parade organised by Cork Community Art Link took place today in Cork and what a blast it was! There was so much energy, happiness and laughter!
This is only a small selection of the photos from today. More to come tomorrow.

A scooter swerved in front of my camera just as I took a photo of Oliver Plunkett Street tonight. I wonder if it was the rider’s intention to ruin the photo, but they made it much better. 🙂
Thanks Henry for organising the night out!

This is the sort of contrasts you’ll see in Cork City during the Jazz weekend. Loads of people dressed to go out for the night, surrounded by shoppers and families dressed for a late October day.
The music on the street was great!

After the Pro Palestinian march walked past and down Oliver Plunkett Street in Cork. There is so much anger at what the Israeli army is doing in Gaza.
How can anyone in their right mind support Netanyahu and his Government after all they’ve done? Hamas are terrorists, but Israel bombing cities and homes and hospitals to rubble and killing tens of thousands of people is not going to address their problems. They’re just laying the groundwork for a perpetual war that will never end.

The black and white pattern of this jacket caught my eye and gave me the idea of shooting a reflection here.

These Eircom phone boxes are soon going to be a thing of the past as they are being removed, but this one had two large stickers against the war in Gaza that caught my eye.

A man sits at one of the tables outside Gino’s Gelato listening to the radio. It was a cold day, and he was dressed for the weather, as were the people nearby. That ice-cream shop was still selling delicious treats to customers!

It’s a serious problem all over the world. Crows are walking on people. In Cork, they put up signs hoping to discourage the crows, but instead the crows just walk on the signs.

I never did give Robert the expired rolls of film I promised him. I even took them with me the last time we did street photography in Cork, but I left them in the car. “Next time”, I said to him.
The odd thing about photography is, I have loads of photos of perfect strangers, but not many of people I know. Lightroom says I only have 38 photos of Robert, going back to 2015.
He was such a larger than life figure, enthusiastic about all things photography, especially Leica and street photography. A lovely guy to meet for a walk around town and a chat afterwards.
Can’t believe you’re gone, Robert. They better have cameras there.
