The Dunnes Stores on St. Patrick’s Street, Cork was only a muddy construction site in March 2008. Only the distinctive yellow front of the building remained at this time.

I love when I spot something like this happening on the street. It happened near the London Eye where there’s a novelty photo booth shaped like a bus. Two kids were at the back, with one pointing at the wheels, and then they go and spin the wheels!

Every photographer who visits London takes a shot of Piccadilly Circus. It’s practically a rite of passage. The neon screens, the crowds, and the Eros statue somewhere off to the side are iconic. So is the famous UNDERGROUND branding seen all over the city so I wanted to get a mix of the two in…

The audience at Covent Garden really appreciated this knife juggler. He’d just been throwing knifes in the air above the body of a willing volunteer. I’m not sure if I’d have volunteered!

This is what Chinatown in London looks like on a Saturday evening in July. A sea of tourists as far as the eye can see, which isn’t very far unless you’re tall.

Chinatown was our last destination in London last year, but I think from the photo it’s obvious where we were. Lanterns and the T-shirt this woman was wearing make that clear!

Sometimes the photography gods just hand you a gift, and this was one of those moments. I was walking through central London when I spotted this woman standing at the kerb in a pink striped shirt — and directly behind her, as if placed there by a set designer with a very specific sense of…

We’re near Piccadilly Circus, there’s a big painted sea turtle sculpture on a blue plinth, part of a public art trail supported by Deborah Meaden and Steven Bartlett, no less, and absolutely nobody sitting on it is paying the slightest bit of attention to it. They’re all on their phones. The star of the show…

If you’ve been anywhere near Grand Parade in Cork lately, you’ll know the scene: hoarding, fencing, traffic cones, and that slightly bewildered look on everyone’s face as they try to work out which footpath is still open this week. This is what it looked like 2 weeks ago when a sewerage pipe was laid across…

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 pair of Eircom phone booths on St. Patrick Street, Cork, pictured in 2005. The phones were there until at least 2022, but Eir announced a few years ago that they’d be removing their public phone booths, so away they go.
