A Cut Above, Two Metres Apart

Remember how impossible it was to get a hair cut during lockdown? Afterwards for some time the barber or hair dresser would have to wear a mask while grooming your hair. This was in February 2022, when we were still paranoid about COVID-19....

The Hi-B: Cork’s Phone-Free Pub Experience

Right, so this is the Hi-B (short for Hibernian Bar), and it’s become genuinely famous for one simple rule: no mobile phones allowed inside. That glowing red and gold Art Deco-style entrance practically screams “we’re doing things our own way,” and the “est 1791” proudly displayed tells you this pub has survived long enough to have opinions about modern technology.

The Jazz Festival Parade

I did not know that there would be a small parade of brass bands down Oliver Plunkett Street until my wife was told about it an hour before!

It was just after sunset and dark and getting cold but there was huge excitement as the crowd followed the musicians down the street.

Irish Terrier Practises Street Yoga

Was it yoga, or was there another dog just out of frame and this Irish Terrier wanted to be friends?

Irish Terriers are one of the oldest terrier breeds and are nicknamed “daredevils” because of their famously spirited and fearless temperament. During World War I, Irish Terriers were used as messenger dogs in the trenches, carrying communications between units under incredibly dangerous conditions. They were so effective and brave that they earned widespread admiration. One officer wrote that they were “extraordinarily intelligent, faithful, and honest, and a man who has one of them as a companion will never lack a true friend.” That stretching behaviour you see in the photo? It’s actually a natural “play bow”. Dogs use it not just to stretch their muscles but also as a social signal to other dogs (and sometimes humans) that they’re feeling playful and want to engage. So this little terrier might just be inviting passersby on Oliver Plunkett Street to join in the fun!

Christmas Lights and Light Trails

A scooter swerved in front of my camera just as I took a photo of Oliver Plunkett Street tonight. I wonder if it was the rider’s intention to ruin the photo, but they made it much better. 🙂

Thanks Henry for organising the night out!

This is the sort of contrasts you’ll see in Cork City during the Jazz weekend. Loads of people dressed to go out for the night, surrounded by shoppers and families dressed for a late October day.

The music on the street was great!

After the Pro Palestinian march walked past and down Oliver Plunkett Street in Cork. There is so much anger at what the Israeli army is doing in Gaza.

How can anyone in their right mind support Netanyahu and his Government after all they’ve done? Hamas are terrorists, but Israel bombing cities and homes and hospitals to rubble and killing tens of thousands of people is not going to address their problems. They’re just laying the groundwork for a perpetual war that will never end.

The black and white pattern of this jacket caught my eye and gave me the idea of shooting a reflection here.

These Eircom phone boxes are soon going to be a thing of the past as they are being removed, but this one had two large stickers against the water in Gaza that caught my eye.

Listen to the radio

A man sits at one of the tables outside Gino's Gelato listening to the radio. It was a cold day, and he was dressed for the weather, as were the people nearby. That ice-cream shop was still selling delicious treats to customers!

Stop crows walking on people.

It’s a serious problem all over the world. Crows are walking on people. In Cork, they put up signs hoping to discourage the crows, but instead the crows just walk on the signs.

Boolaboom, a “super-sized brass and percussion big-band” played on Oliver Plunkett Street, in front of the GPO and they were great!

I never did give Robert the expired rolls of film I promised him. I even took them with me the last time we did street photography in Cork, but I left them in the car. “Next time”, I said to him.

The odd thing about photography is, I have loads of photos of perfect strangers, but not many of people I know. Lightroom says I only have 38 photos of Robert, going back to 2015.

He was such a larger than life figure, enthusiastic about all things photography, especially Leica and street photography. A lovely guy to meet for a walk around town and a chat afterwards.

Can’t believe you’re gone, Robert. They better have cameras there.
