  • Seagull Becomes Lunch Inspector

    This seagull had his eye on that man’s lunch. I wonder if he got any crumbs. They have no fear!

  • Up and Away

    I like photographing multi-storey car parks. Usually there’s a good view from the top floor, and I’ll always find something interesting inside too.

  • Kids and Mazes on Grand Parade

    Cork was wrapped in a thick fog on a mild Christmas Eve in 2005. Children were running around a painted maze on the ground near the National Monument on Grand Parade and having a great time.

    Twenty years ago! So much has changed.

  • Long Exposure at Ireland’s Edge

    The sea retreats in its forever battle with the sand.

    Clogher Strand in late December. The day was cold but we had fun.

  • Sullivan’s Quay After Dark

    I’ve photographed Sullivan’s Quay plenty of times but this was a little experiment shooting in highlight-priority mode. I brightened it up later but I like the way it came out and love the yellow reflected light on the River Lee.

    Here’s Sullivan’s Quay at sunset many years ago from much the same view point!

  • Father Mathew’s Legacy in Blue

    Father Mathew Hall in Cork is well known to generations of school kids who participated in the annual Feis Maitiú there. This is what it looked like in 2006 and while it is still blue, the overhang appears to be gone if you look at it in Google Maps.

    I hope they still play bingo there. 🙂

  • Where Time Slows Down

    Long exposure photograph of Coumeenoole Beach in County Kerry showing smooth, misty water flowing around dark rocks on golden sand, with dramatic cliffs and mountains under an overcast sky.

  • Golden Light and Late Night Texts

    December was surprisingly mild, at times, and allowed people to stand outside pubs in relative comfort. Not like now. It’s so cold, but January is always like that.

  • When the River Lee Becomes a Mirror

    The buildings at the end of Shandon Street reflect in the calm waters of the River Lee, Cork.

  • Fast Food, Slow Shutter

    The Burger King sign on St Patrick Street shines while Christmas lights move about the frame. A touch of ICM on a cold December evening.

  • Cornmarket’s Christmas Tree Through Steel

    You know that weird liminal period between Christmas and whenever someone finally bothers to take the decorations down? This is it, captured in one slightly surreal shot on Cornmarket Street. That tree was still up on January 2nd, but I expect it’ll be gone in a day or two now.

    The light effect on the steel table in the foreground was an accidental discovery! This was a quick hand held shot, not some long exposure or twisty zoomy multiple shots merged together!

    It’s January. I wish they’d leave the lights up for January. It’s so gloomy and dark without the extra bit of festivity of the lights.

  • Masked Normality: Life in Cork One Year After COVID-19

    Street photography showing a man wearing a white face mask and tan jacket with black backpack, sitting on a concrete street planter on a busy urban pavement in Cork, Ireland during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    A year after COVID-19 hit Irish shores and people were still being extra careful, even wearing masks outside where there was little risk of infection.

    Better to be safe than sorry.

    Here we are in 2026, and people are still denying that COVID-19 was a problem, while there’s a screenshot going around of a tweet by an “MD” who predicted that everyone who got the vaccine would be dead by the end of 2025. We’re still around. LOL.
