I was looking for a slightly faded denim type look for this – kept a little bit of the colour – decided not to shove in all the black and white the other day. It’s another one from Cornwall. There’s an element of faded retrochic as well. I’ve mixed feelings about it for the moment [...]

On the beach are about 15 kitesurfers, pumping kites, talking about what size they’ll put up, who’s going to try the new 2011 Cabrinhas. The kites are pretty. The two Cabrinha team riders are on the beach. The weather is hugely different to what they are used to; Susie tells me she spends most of [...] This is looking towards Howth, on a windy day. I just liked the way the dry sand was flying across the layer of damp sand underneath. I know there have been no posts to other wonderful photographers but I’ve wanted to comment on a few things lately. Ronan has been talking about available memory. I wanted to comment [...] This is my favourite shot from yesterday. It shouldn’t be, but it is. after all I chopped the top of the kite off. But I don’t really care. There’s just something about it I love. The photograph was taken in Sutton, Co. Dublin, Ireland. In a way, it’s the culmination of years of work, waiting, hoping. You [...] Another one from Keem Beach. For some reason, this is my favourite of the shots I took over there. I intended to give a trip to Inchydoney at the weekend, scene of some of my favourite beach photographs, but I got distracted by the desire to get in the water myself. So I never made [...] This boat was near the pier in Mulranny. I’ve seen this town signposted Mallaranny as well which must be quite confusing for the average tourist. Not, however, as confusing as the saga with the Irish language signposts is. Nearby here, there were three guys fishing. I think they told me they came over from Castlebar. This [...] This is some more of the Atlantic coastal route in Mayo. One of the things that gets rammed home to me each time I am Atlanticside is how much I miss the Atlantic and really the Irish Sea; it’s a piffling little sea by comparison. It doesn’t smell right, it doesn’t feel right and it [...] I was in Mayo for the weekend. This is the lifeguard shift at Keem Beach on Achill Island, just starting off on Monday or Tuesday; can’t remember which to be honest at this stage. Keem Beach might be the most beautiful beach in Ireland. Toss up between that and Barleycove in Cork. Admittedly, Barleycove in Cork is [...] I really haven’t been out taking many kite photographs much for the last year or two, and most of what I have done has been fairly easy for want of a better description with a few key exceptions. This, however, is one of the older photographs, and it dates from about 2007 or 2008 when [...] Dun Laoghaire. Every time I go there, I hear this line from a song by Bagatelle when I was a kid. So i jumped on a bus to dun laoire, stoppin’ off to pick up my guitar Thing is I’ve been there taking photographs a few times in the last few months alright between the perfume, the [...] |
