  1. Sitting in the Sun at Bantry Market

    The van was parked side on to the sun on a warm February day in Bantry last year. Sun shone for a brief moment and I caught a moment where he looked up from his phone.

  2. Well Fed in Kraków

    Two pigeons on the cobbles with a torn piece of bread roll just behind them, both walking away from it. In most cities bread on the ground is gone in seconds. Well-fed pigeons!...

  4. Wheeling Through the Square

    The nun was the only person in Market Square moving with any purpose. Everyone else had the tourist walk, slow and drifting or heads tilted up at the scaffolding on St Mary's. She came over the cobbles in sandals with the bike beside her, key swinging from her belt, and went straight past us on her way.

  5. Lucky Leprechauns

    The performing leprechauns are back, sitting next to the new raised flower beds that were installed by Cork City Council recently. They love the attention but they are loud.

  6. The Glass Cathedral of Work

    A wall of glass tilt over your head and you start to feel very small, very corporate and very much in need of a strong coffee. This is the WeWork office in London. Look closely and there's one warm pendant lamp glowing in a window, a tiny pocket of cosiness in a tower of cold glass, and that's the bit that gets me. I'd rather be working from home and I think most people would too.

  7. Silhouettes on Henry Street

    I was waiting on Henry Street and spotted the deep shadows cast by the buildings, so it occurred to me that silhouettes would become a good subject for a photo. Luckily, a Deliveroo cyclist came along then and I captured him motionless as he rode past.

  8. Youghal’s Wooden Sentinels

    Groynes in the sand as the water rushes away to do battle with another wave coming in. The ever-present push and pull of the tide, defeated for some time at least by these wooden posts.

  9. Little Grebe, Smaller Grebe

    I was visiting Fota Wildlife Park with Henry recently when he spotted these two in an enclosure and I genuinely cannot get over how small a little grebe chick is. It's basically a wet pom-pom with an attitude. The adult, all chestnut throat and businesslike beak, was patrolling the surface and the chick paddled over, demanding food with the kind of cheek only baby birds can pull off. I love how the second shot caught the wee one drifting solo, perfectly mirrored on glassy water, looking […]

  14. The Diego Effect at Bantry Market

    You can tell a dog has just walked past by the geometry of the smiles. Two heads turning at the same angle, the kid in the patterned fleece still oblivious, a smoothie stall behind them advertising Mango Mix and Berry Bliss like it's any other Friday. Diego is a small chihuahua and entirely unaware that he's a one-dog charm offensive. He just trots along beside me at Bantry market and the world rearranges itself around him. I didn't pose this. I didn't even ask. I was a step behind with the […]

  15. The Lone Boat at O’Sullivan’s Cascade

    There was a single boat on our little corner of the Lakes of Killarney. I'd walked down from O'Sullivan's Cascade to join other photographers from Blarney Photography Club. They were busy photographing the same scene you see here and everything around them. We were enjoying the afternoon sunlight on a calm October day last year.

  17. Shandon Above the Shopfronts

    Cork's Pope Quay packs more character into two hundred metres than most cities manage in a mile. I was standing on the south bank with the River Lee between us, drawn initially by the sweep of that pedestrian footbridge. It's a clean, modern arc that sits surprisingly well against the jumble of modern, Georgian and Victorian facades behind it. The shopfronts tell the story of the neighbourhood in bold strokes: Coffee Scape and its Eastern European treats in hi-vis orange, MYO with its painted […]

  18. The Bookshop Pigeon

    A pigeon had taken up residence in the Dubray Books window on St. Patrick Street, wedged comfortably between Michael Palin and a Lonely Planet guide which is frankly better taste in travel literature than most of us manage. It sat there among the carefully arranged display like it had been hired for the job, unbothered by the Black Friday signage overhead or the passers-by stopping to gawp. One woman paused mid-stride, peered through the glass, and you could see the exact moment the penny […]

  19. The Wheels Go Around

    I love when I spot something like this happening on the street. It happened near the London Eye where there’s a novelty photo booth shaped like a bus. Two kids were at the back, with one pointing at the wheels, and then they go and spin the wheels!

  20. Light, Table, Window, Darkness

    Sometimes the best photographs are the ones where you strip everything away and just let light do the talking. Simple.

  21. The Clash Meets Coffee Culture

    I never imagined I’d see a T-shirt that features The Clash and The Supremes in one sentence, yet here we are in Spitalfields Market in London.

    Good coffee at Mamma’s Goodies too!

  22. Killarney’s Red Deer Decoration

    A stag digs up the grass to decorate his antlers in Killarney National Park a few weeks ago.

    Antler entanglement with vegetation is a common occurrence during the red deer rutting season and is primarily caused by a behaviour called “thrashing,” where stags violently shake their antlers against trees, shrubs, and ground vegetation. This behaviour serves multiple purposes: it helps remove the dried velvet that covered growing antlers earlier in the season, it deposits scent from glands near the eyes onto vegetation to mark territory, it demonstrates strength and aggression to rival males, and it creates visual displays that attract females. During peak rutting activity, stags may thrash vegetation dozens of times per day, and the force involved can uproot small plants entirely, strip bark from trees, and break substantial branches. The Irish name for red deer, “fia rua,” literally means “red deer,” and historical Irish texts frequently reference the autumn roaring season when stags’ bellowing calls could be heard echoing across valleys. The physical demands of rutting are so intense that stags typically lose 10-20% of their body weight during the season, as they spend most of their time and energy on reproductive behaviours rather than feeding. Killarney’s native red deer population represents Ireland’s only surviving indigenous red deer herd, genetically distinct from Scottish red deer introduced elsewhere in Ireland, making behavioural observations like this particularly valuable for understanding the ecology of Ireland’s original red deer. The autumn rut typically peaks in October, which means stags spend about 4-6 weeks in this heightened state of activity, after which successful males are often exhausted and in poor condition heading into winter, requiring the entire spring and summer to recover condition for the following year’s rut.

  23. Decided to give my desk a break this weekend and get some fresh air at Robert Moses State Park. The weather was absolutely beautiful—if a little warm for this time of year—and I took the opportunity to shoot some photos of the Fire Island Lighthouse. I’ve split the shots into two posts—this batch features my horizontal images. #beach #lighthouse #nature #chasinglight #landscape #fireisland #coastal #sonycamera #sonya7rⅴ #sony35mm14gm #sony100400gm

  24. A Storm Gathering Over Kerry’s Fear Marbh

    Storm clouds gathered on an August evening on the Dingle Peninsula. I was hoping for a nice sunset, and the sun briefly appeared, but this was a few minutes later. Strong winds started to blow and I had to hold on to my tripod to stop the camera from shaking and potentially falling over!
