A Man and His Dog

It’s so unusual to see a dog in Cork City, but then I saw this beautiful Border Collie. His attention on something off-camera.

Patient Pooch Steals Attention

With a walking stick under his arm, a man pays a young woman for a St. Bridget’s Cross on February 1st, 2023. As he completes the transaction, his loyal dog sits patiently on the ground, gazing away in anticipation of walks to come. Two women pass by and catch sight of the striking canine, drawn to the dog’s friendly aura and bold bandana.

So much red

While waiting to cross the road on Grand Parade, I saw a man hurry across the road, dragging a black suitcase. He was in a rush, in contrast with the family in front of me who were checking for traffic before crossing.

I love all the red in this photo. Her dress, his t-shirt, their bags, I love that both parties have suitcases.

The photo was made a year ago today, and I am posting a street photo because I heard today that a fellow street photographer, and friend, Robert, has suffered another heart attack and is in hospital. I hope he has a speedy recovery, and we’ll be snapping the streets again when he’s able!
