  2. Bus Stop Chronicles

    I just read that Martin Parr passed away yesterday. He was a giant in street photography circles with a fantastic library of unusual photos showing a slice of life wherever he had his camera.

    So, today’s image has to be a street photo. A busy scene on St. Patrick Street, Cork in 2017.

  3. Mobile Appetite

    One of the food trailers at the Skibbereen market on the day I visited in 2019 was “Little Green Shoot”. They’re on Facebook, but haven’t updated since 2020 so they may not be operating any more. A lot has happened since then.

  4. Market Work in Malaga

    The Mercado Central de Atarazanas in Malaga is really busy but on the day I visited in 2019 it was surprisingly quiet. The people working there were busy as ever though, and this man walked past me quickly, and out of sight around a corner in a moment!

    I often wonder what has become of people I photograph in their daily lives, especially if I come back to those photos years later.

  5. Young participants gather in solemn reflection beside Zuljanah, the symbolic horse of Imam Hussain, during the Ashura procession in Glasgow. A timeless moment of devotion, remembrance, and cultural continuity — captured a few years ago in the heart of the Scottish city.

  6. A moment of solemn preparation during Arbaeen in London. The richly adorned horse symbolises Zuljanah, the steed of Imam Hussain, and becomes the quiet witness to centuries of grief and resilience. A timeless reminder that even in exile, remembrance endures.

  7. 📸 Who inspires a photojournalist?
    I get asked this question often, so I’ve finally written a blog post about it.

    I admire these photographers deeply: some are colleagues I’ve worked alongside, others I’ve followed for years, and a few I’ve never met but whose work continues to shape visual journalism at its best.

    From breaking news to long-form storytelling, red carpet to refugee camps, their work always teaches me something.

  8. The rarely seen ‘busy’ backlot of the iconic blast furnace on Independence Rd. that previously was Republic Steel and then Mittal before being sold to Cleveland Cliffs.
    Former Cleveland mayor, Dennis Kucinich once called those blast furnace flares ‘Cleveland’s pilot light’ 😂
