I was there too
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.

A bunch of lads queuing for Gorbys on Oliver Plunkett Street, Cork in 2007. Nightclubs are due to open soon again.
2,399 new cases of Covid-19 today. Even with vaccination I think we can expect a huge surge in about two weeks. I’ll be glad if I’m wrong.
