Getting into the act a bit late but nevertheless… For those of you that still don’t know, RTE has taken the curious decision of a screwing with the format of three slots, Rick’s, Nikki Hayes and Will Leahy. As someone who’s both listened to these shows for a while and actually had the pleasure of […]
Read moreFollowing forests gardens and I can’t remember what else, I needed to get back to the beach. Fully intend on visiting one specific beach on travelling back down to Cork for the Blog Awards next month. Mmmmmmm beach rubbish….
Read moreGetting the dart down to the seaside, a summertime institution. It’s a little colder and a little greyer now at this seaside at least, but there are still people on the trains as proved by this discarded ticket. The 5D is off to hospital in the UK. I only had it a couple of months […]
Read moreSteps on the pier in Bray, Co. Wicklow. It’s easily been about 4/5 years since I was last in Bray and this time only decided to go there after a quite lost drive around Dalkey and Killiney. It was bloody cold and bloody windy, but I had to get the beach fix I’ve been after […]
Read moreA lighting tutorial session that quickly turned into a disorganised messing session at Charleville Castle in Tullamore during the boards.ie trip last year. Posting has been light due to lack of broadband (being sorted) and lack of photos (lack of broadband is killing motivation to process). Will have to get to a beach this weekend […]
Read moreMy new view. Looking out onto some old building across (I really must find out what it is) across from my new place in Dublin city. Phone line in, broadband soon to be ordered (as soon as eircom find their arse with both hands), TV’s sorted, can now walk to work (in 15 mins) and […]
Read moreLast one of the year, a quick post while getting ready to go out on New Years Eve. Also possibly the last one of the roof of the Glasgow Botanic Gardens I’ll post for a while. I’ll try to keep my roof fetish down to a dull roar in future. So, 2008 is on the […]
Read morePossibly the last photo I’ll post before the true nature of the festive season jumps us all in a dark alley. Currently without broadband after re-locating, hopefully I’ll get a connection to the outside world early on in the new year. So in case I’m not back before the first of the first, all of […]
Read moreOne more from Glasgow before I pack the laptop up with the rest of the boxes. Somewhere on the Loch Lomond drive I think (open to correction) there was a parking spot with a convenient amount of picturesque frozen stuff within spitting distance. Course, if you had spit, it would have frozen instantly and you’d […]
Read moreOne of the most magnificent universities I’ve ever visited. Taken inside the cloisters at Glasgow University, facing out onto a frosty, snowy courtyard. A quiet, tranquil place to spend a bit of time… Unless there’s half a dozen members of a family playing an impromptu game of football 50 yards away from you.
Read moreBack to the past; 1st October 2005. Taken for the Ray Darcy/TodayFM project “Us”. The book was published with photos contributed from listeners to the show and money went to charity. Hurrah. Also, I, along with other talented photobloggers, have several photos published in it. Hurrah! Finding all these old photos as I’m packing up […]
Read moreThis has been the wallpaper on my mac for the last God knows how long. Possibly counterproductive, it often makes me thirsty on bootup. I think I have almost a full bottle floating around somewhere.. If not Santa will have to bring me one.
Read moreTaken for a project aaaaaages ago, surfaced as I trawled through my archives. A bit of black and white, ehh… literally. Lit from about 45 degrees from behind with one large softbox on an elinchrom flash unit.
Read moreSurprising that a grade B item would be installed in such a prestigious place as Trinity college! Obviously an oversight on the part of the facilities management. Taken while strolling around the grounds before the blog awards earlier this year. Well, taken before disappearing off to the pub at the slightest sign of moisture falling […]
Read moreA fantastic display of wit from one or more of Glasgow’s inhabitants. Although, they may have been operating with actual proof! Who knows?
Read moreSwans that aren’t even hungry crowd around a gentleman emptying a carrier bag full of foosty bread into the already murky (mostly from being full of soggy bread bits) waters of the lough in Cork city. Taken back when the sky was bluer, the weather was nicer and the days were hotter and t-shirts were […]
Read moreCaught while strolling around the outside of the castle at the now annual boards.ie photography forum Charleville meetup. Don’t forget, ladder cat is always watching!
Read moreThe wonderful, the marvelous, the often copied but never bettered (or battered either) ceiling fish of Glasgow! These monsters are swimming around just inside the door of what I would call the main building of the botanic gardens.. or are they hanging from the ceiling? I haven’t quite made my mind up yet.
Read moreStirling bridge, where (and I may have gotten the biased version) the Scottish beat the hell out of the English some time ago. Nevertheless, a very impressive bridge. Even more so when everything around it was covered in a thick layer of frost. Wish I could have managed the elusive angle with the bridge & […]
