Misty Morning Bird
What were you doing at 5:52am this bright Sunday morning? Fast asleep? Our little boy Adam had us up and about bright and early. Bleary eyed parents who read this will I'm sure agree that it's a shame young kids don't realise the weekend is for sleeping in. I would have missed this shot though...
Fire!
Fire burns brightly in a bonfire lit at the ranch in Arizona. I ruined my coat by standing downwind of the fire. The smell of smoke was impossible to get out! Still, got a few nice shots!
Gentle Smile
A model smiles for the camera at Mallow Camera Club's studio portrait night. This was back in 2006 and I had promised the girls involved that night I'd send on their photos. Unfortunately it took longer than I thought to work on them. Here's a photo of the other model I shot that night.
Volkswagen Beetle
A Volkswagen Beetle in Blarney reminds me that not everyone has bought a shiny new car. It even has the old style number plates. Does anyone know what year and county "WFI" relates to? I love how this image is framed by the old fence. B&W works particularly well because of the timeless nature of...
Shih Tzu in the sun
We attended a beautiful christening in Fermoy today and afterwards it was off to Mitchelstown where we joined the other guests in a light lunch of finger food and sandwiches. Loved that apple tart afterwards. Yum! This is our shih tzu, Oscar, who we took along for the drive. After the main course was over...
A place to live in the trees
I noticed this small hut while out walking one afternoon on the ranch in Arizon last January. Bit of a squeeze I bet!
An Fear Marbh san uisce
An Fear Marbh, or "The Dead Man" in English lies off the coast of Co. Kerry. I posted another photo of the island taken on the same night as this one here, but it was such a beautiful evening I took quite a few shots!
Call of the evening
Call of the evening A bird atop the light outside my house calls into the glowing evening sky heralding the end of 2007. After walking Oscar I had to grab my camera and shoot the beautiful evening sky. The background was this colour, there's no trickery here except a little vignetting and sharpening.
I can see the parade!
I can see the parade! Some people go to all lengths to watch the St. Patrick's Day Parade as these kids show. Congrats to my friends John and Ann on the birth of their son Caelin yesterday. You're lives are going to change *so much* but you're going to have a great time with the...

La le Phadraig ar Sraid Phadraig
La le Phadraig ar Sraid Phadraig Children look out of an upstairs window in Merchants Quay shopping centre. When I took this shot I didn't even see them! I was concentrating on the kids in the foreground with their flags. I think they frame the street sign rather nicely and ties in with the name...
