Frederick Douglass Inspires in Cork City Centre
I love this mural of Frederick Douglass. It’s painted on a wall of the small avenue going up to the Unitarian Church on Princes Street. I think the church has been closed for quite some time, but I’m glad this area is maintained. The history of the church here is fascinating too. After a fire…
Bicycles and Banter on Castle Street
I interrupted a conversation in process when I took this photo, as the man on the bike noticed me. I don’t think I’ve seen his since I took this photo in March, 2021.
A Splash of Yellow and Red
A couple sitting at an outdoor table in a little café in Athens, Greece about a year ago. Their body language couldn’t be more different, and every time I look at this image, I wonder what they were talking about. Their roles in this conversation are opposed. He appears relaxed and confident, while she is…
Three for Ten: A Pub Special

Eggs for Sale
A visit to the market in Skibbereen in 2019 was productive. I’ve posted a number of photos from that hour or so on here over the years, and there are still a few more to go. August 2019 feels like a lifetime ago.
Fresh Fruits and Fortune
I went out one morning to photograph Palafrugell, walking around the town, exploring the streets. It’s a small town with narrow roads and tall buildings, with a few public squares dotted around. Near one is a vegetable market where I spotted a man buying a lottery card. The ONCE lottery, seen in the photo, is…
Tools, Trades, and a Cold Beer in Athens
While wandering around a market in Athens, I saw this man sitting on the ground outside his tool-filled shop. He seemed very relaxed and was chatting to a nearby man. I hope that beer was nice and cold as it was quite a warm day! The Areti beer seen in the photo is a Greek…
