Just saw a dog
Moments before, a large dog walked past this cat, sniffing the ground, walking around and completely uninterested in the cats lazing around in this graveyard in Istanbul.
A cat family in a box
There’s one thing I loved about Istanbul, and that was all the cats. Some streets had many cats, some had none. Others had a cat wandering across the road, near a dog sprawled out in the sun, asleep. It was lovely seeing all the animals. This feline family was photographed on the wall of the…
A Modern Wedding Moment
A bride examines her photos as the groom looks off into space and the photographer checks his messages. A random tourist is caught in the frame, looking off in the distance. I don’t think he had anything to do with the wedding.
The Istanbul Skyline
This is part of the Asian side of Istanbul in Turkey. My first time in Asia too, even if I only ventured a few kilometres in! Our guide said they’re trying to encourage more people to live on this side of the city, but from what I could see, it stretched on almost to distant…
Scooter Delivery Through Historic Streets
We were walking up a narrow street near the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul when I heard a bell of a scooter ring out. The crowds parted and a young man on a scooter with a foot on heavy looking bags zipped past at speed! I can’t imagine that was a smooth ride on those cobbles…
Under a Turkish Sky

A Splash of Colour
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!
Missing Buildings in Blackpool

Arco de la Victoria and lightstreaks
Many, many years ago, I photographed the Arco de la Victoria (Victory Arch) in Madrid. I was quite happy to have the lights of passing traffic in the photo too!
Waiting to run
Runners prepare to take part in the Ladies mini-marathon in Cork, 2004.
Floating Beauty

A mirror of a mural
What caught my eye when I saw this in front of me in Bishop Lucey Park, was the man leaning against the railing seemed to mirror the pose of the figure in the large mural on the wall. The park itself is closed off now. This is a picture of a bygone era. Can’t wait…
