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…

Curiosity in the Old Town
We were wandering up the Royal Mile in Edinburgh when I spotted these two women looking up. At what, I’m not sure, there wasn’t anything special in the building they were looking at. Is there such a thing as “Edinburgh Neck”?
Voices for Gaza
Every Saturday there’s a rally in Cork supporting the people of Gaza and protesting the awful genocide being carried out by the IDF.
Green Light Go
One more from last week. This time, the long exposure shot is of a bus heading to Parnell Place in Cork. The traffic light had just turned green, so the bus was driving slowly, accelerating as it went. It made a colourful impression on the digital sensor of my camera!
