Two visitors to the Natural History Museum in London admire the huge skeleton in the main hall. The Natural History Museum’s most famous skeleton used to be “Dippy,” a diplodocus that dominated that main hall for 112 years. In 2017, it was replaced with a blue whale skeleton (which is what you see here). Dippy…

I have a good reason for photographing this perfectly ordinary scene. Over the years I’ve taken photos of men sitting on that electricity box, and this just adds to that collection. First there was this photo of Liam Foley, an elderly man enjoying a cigarette. He passed away 2 months after that photo was taken….

It was October 2007, and I was in Cobh to photograph the game between Cobh Ramblers and Dundalk FC. The visitors were beaten 1-0 but Chris Bennion stopped this attempt on goal. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve photographed a football game, but this was the first one, a long…

A selfie at Cork Pride last August on Kennedy Quay. I wonder if this selfie is on Instagram somewhere?

I’m not a big fan of brown, and there’s a lot of brown in the new Bishop Lucey Park. I do really like what they did with the old wall. That’s the slightly rough-looking grass bit in the second picture of my gallery. The old park had this cut off from the public behind railings,…

Cork’s newest bridge is a new pedestrian or cycle bridge that spans the River Lee from Wandesford Quay to Lambley’s Lane. You’d be forgiven if you’re not familiar with either area, as they aren’t exactly the most trafficked areas in the city. If you’re curious, Lambley’s Lane is off to the side of the old…

A slice of life in Spitalfields Market, London, last July. If you want a hat, go to the guy wearing a hat!

I never imagined I’d see a T-shirt that features The Clash and The Supremes in one sentence, yet here we are in Spitalfields Market in London. Good coffee at Mamma’s Goodies too!

This is one of those delightful urban photography moments where colour, context, and coincidence align to create something more interesting than the sum of its parts. A woman in a green T-shirt and shorts, on an Uber bicycle with green basket, cycling in front of a shop bearing the name “VERDE & Co Ltd”. Verde…

I visited London briefly during the summer with some friends and Piccadilly Square was one of our destinations. There were so many people from all walks of life gathered there it was a rich representation of life in the city. Tonight at Blarney Photography Club I gave a talk there about the trip with my…

The Three Sisters on the Dingle Peninsula in Co. Kerry. The sun had just sunk below the horizon and beyond a cloud bank at the horizon but the sky was still glowing a lovely soft yellow glow.

Do you remember when the Grand Parade had motorcycle parking down the middle of the street? That was twenty years ago! See there’s no mural on the wall behind? This photo was taken on Christmas Eve 2005.
