Mauve, green, and red
3 doors, all different colours. I love it! Modern housing is so boring.
Never a phone when you want one…
I guess if you’re in London you probably won’t have much trouble finding a public phone. A group of them stood here, wherever it is. Empty and alone.Meanwhile, traffic passes in the background, casting eerie light trails through the photo.
A Unicycle on Patrick’s Street
April 18th, 2006 when the St. Patrick’s Festival was still a new thing and street entertainers entertained the population. He was good on that unicycle. Didn’t fall at all.
The McCurtain Street Building Site
Today was Robert’s funeral, so here’s a street photo he would like. It’s got layers, it’s got people, it’s got a changing city, from the old to the new. Robert, you will be missed.
Robert, the Street Photographer
Me and Robert on Oliver Plunkett Street in front of the Old Oak I never did give Robert the expired rolls of film I promised him. I even took them with me the last time we did street photography in Cork, but I left them in the car. “Next time”, I said to him. The…
Lines on the wall
A drain pipe comes down the wall, taking corners in strict lines, while the thin branches of a bush cling to the smooth surface. The branches look like they want to smother or envelop the wall, but the branches are bare. The wall is smooth. All dead.
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…
The Violinist and his audience
I was in town this afternoon and walking up Oliver Plunkett Street, came across Ryan Parsons, a very talented violinist busking on the street. A sizeable crowd gathered around behind me, enjoying the music. The gentleman in the background of this photo was evidentially enjoying the music too, waving his hand in time with the…
Curves and Colours
A few months ago the Counting House on South Main Street, Cork, was opened to the public for a day. Upstairs was an art exhibit, including this one.
Lodge 234
I was surprised to see the Masonic Square and Compass logo on a weathered door in Kinsale a few weeks ago. Luckily there’s no public park next door where they can buy a plot of land to extend the building for €1 like they did in Cork City. CORK city councillors have voted to dispose…
Love Walking
One of the signs surrounding the building site on McCurtain Street and Patrick’s Hill. Gotta love walking!
The Green Door
A colour coordinated door and wheelie bin in Kinsale caught my eye.
