It was October 2019 and JD Sports had yet to open their shop on Patrick’s Street in Cork. The back of the building, on Drawbridge Street, featured JD Sports hoarding, but now it’s derelict, with “TO LET” signs in the windows, and the SAVOY entrance is boarded up. A sign of the times. The city…

We were on our way to lunch when I spotted this gentleman sitting on a crate, chatting to a person in a newspaper kiosk.

I’m not a huge fan of anchovies, but the way these fish were displayed caught my eye. The silvery fish created an almost hypnotic pattern across the vendor’s counter, their tiny bodies catching the harsh market lights in a way that demanded to be photographed.

Sometimes you have to stop and let humanity go past when there are too many people around.

While waiting for the train in Athens, I spotted a pigeon walking around the station, calm as you can imagine, as if he owned the place. A few minutes later, a train rolled in, passengers started moving, and the pigeon flew into the rafters. Observing all that he rules.

There’s something delightfully peculiar about finding a cat on a lead. I spotted these two characters taking a break near Camden Town in London. The scene just screamed to be photographed. The smoke caught in the sunlight and the cat’s nonchalant pose, how could I resist? It’s a candid shot, of course, and as the…

Looks like someone wasn’t that careful parking here. The poor parking sign is doing an imitation of the Leaning Tower of Pisa! Happy new year to you, dear reader.

I was walking along Princes Street with my colleagues after a long day of meetings when this scene stopped me in my tracks. At first glance, it might seem like just another…

People watching a game at Jim Cashman’s pub on Paul Street, Cork, last weekend.

St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral and one of the cars of the big wheel on Grand Parade at sunset several years ago. Must have been a really nice view from the top of the big wheel!

There’s never a bus when you want one, and suddenly four come along when you least expect it. A very busy Bridge Street in Cork last week with commuters on the way home.

The blurred Christmas lights along St. Patrick Street and Cook Street transform into a dreamy tapestry of golden and multicoloured bokeh, creating a magical backdrop above a person wearing a studded black beanie and glasses near Opera Lane. Nollaig shona duit! Hope you had a nice day today if you celebrate!
