Wed, 09 November 2011 easter egg window
I took this picture while I was in Stockholm, Sweden over Easter.
I’m always interested in the differences in detail from country to country. This is an image I could not have shot in Ireland. We don’t have that style of window combined with that wrought iron, and I’ve never seen an Easter decoration like that [...]
Tue, 08 November 2011 skeleton bread
This is the current window display in The Gourmet Tart in Galway city.
I snapped it quickly this evening, grateful that the grotesque diorama had not been dismantled yet in favour of a cheery Yule decoration.
I particularly like the skeletons bursting out of their bread coffins.
This is one of the reasons why I like this [...]
Mon, 07 November 2011 love me
A flagrant show, but oh how beautiful…
Sun, 06 November 2011 relax
I spotted this mosaic mirror in the Galway market yesterday, hanging on the railings that surround St. Nicholas’ Church.
I appreciate the irony that you can see a shattered reflection of me in the word, because I’m not good at truly relaxing.
Perhaps I should try to inhabit the word better.
Sat, 05 November 2011 old magic persists
Tree, water and moon at dusk.
It’s still beautiful, despite the rows of houses stacked upon each other.
Even in the urban environment the old magic persists.
Thu, 03 November 2011 terminator games
I took this picture at the arcade in Brighton Pier last month when I was attending the British FantasyCon.
All those robotic red eyes daring you to chance your money and skill against their programmed reflexes.
How can you resist?
Tue, 01 November 2011 intimacy
Winter is upon us, but here is an image of a golden autumn evening in one of my favourite places to walk the dog: Coole Park.
Fri, 09 September 2011 Dessicated heart
A drop of love would make it beat again.
Thu, 08 September 2011 an old call
Earlier in the year I snapped this photograph in Chapelizod in Dublin.
It’s rare to get an image of the old Telecom Eireann phone box, and the rather decrepit building behind it makes this photo look like it could have been taken 30 years ago.
Add a few filters, and hey presto, it really looks its age.
Wed, 07 September 2011 where did the summer go?
This is one of my favourite flower photographs of the summer, taken on a rare hot day in Galway.
There must be a miniature sun secreted in the folds of that rose to account for its Hollywood glow (no spray tan required).
The image cheers me up as the days take on a duller, less [...]
