  1. Wings Up on Cornmarket Street

    A crow lifted off the top of the barrier around the old Paintwell shop on Cornmarket Street, Cork, as I approached to get a closer shot. Its friends had already departed, but this one was cleaning its feathers and only looked up a moment before this photo was taken.

  6. A Break in the Doorway

    I spotted someone sitting in the doorway of a food truck in Rory Gallagher Place, Cork, and liked the contrasting colours of what I saw.

  11. 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.

  12. Fixing the fishing line

    Sometimes the fishing line gets tangled and you need to stop what you're doing and fix it.

  13. Blarney House at the End of the Drive

    Blarney House lies about 500m from the famous Castle, but I bet many of the tourists that come to visit the castle never go over to visit it, or walk around the grounds.

  14. 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.

  15. The Irish Summer

    Proving that the recent heatwave is (still) the exception and that it sometimes rains in June in Ireland. It didn't last long. By the time we came out of Cornucopia the ground was dry and the sun was shining again.

  16. Boardwalk to the Last Light

    The boardwalk pulled me straight in. Those weathered planks running across the dark volcanic sand towards a sea gone smooth from a long exposure, like the Atlantic had decided to hold its breath for me. Playa de Ajabo at dusk is a different beast to the postcard Tenerife of packed loungers and factor-50. This was the middle of winter after all. Even during the day there weren't huge crowds, the two thatched parasols stood there in silhouette like a pair of scarecrows off duty, and the sky […]

  17. 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 […]

  22. 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 […]

  23. The Invisible Shift

    A street cleaner with a bin bag in one hand, framed between a STOP sign and a no-right-turn sign. You couldn’t stage it better. I shot this from Drawbridge Street, watching the lunchtime crowd flow past him like water around a rock. What struck me was the contrast: dozens of people mid-stride, shopping or wandering around, and this one figure doing the quiet work that keeps the city ticking over.

    His orange hi-vis jacket is the loudest thing in the frame, but he’s mostly unnoticed by everyone. The young lad in the camo jacket is walking towards me, a woman in a black top is mid-step, and behind the railings there’s a whole parade of shoppers who have no idea they’re in a photograph. I like that the two road signs bookend him: STOP on one side, no-right-turn on the other as if the street itself is giving him contradictory instructions. It’s one of those shots where the composition just fell into place, and all I had to do was not fumble the shutter.

  24. The Cappagh Sentinel

    The sun had risen about 40 minutes before and we were about to leave Cappagh Beach on the Dingle Peninsula when I saw a tree silhouetted against the sun.

  29. 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!

  30. Istanbul’s Galata Bridge at Night

    Restaurants dot the walkway under the Galata Bridge in Istanbul. I walked by and there were people enjoying food there in what I’m guessing is one of the more expensive touristy places to eat in the city.

    There’s a tradition of fishing from the bridge and I remember seeing many lines coming down from on top!

  31. Light, Table, Window, Darkness

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

  32. The new Bishop Lucey Park

    I’m not a big fan of brown, and there’s a lot of brown in the new Bishop Lucey Park. I do really like what they did with the old wall. That’s the slightly rough-looking grass bit in the second picture of my gallery. The old park had this cut off from the public behind railings, with stagnant water collecting at the bottom. Now, it’s an area where people can sit on steps and walk around.

    I love that the old entrance is still there and that they removed the railing running around the outside.

    It’s disappointing to see that gravel was used so much. I imagine it has something to do with maintenance, but it would have been nice to see more grass. However, as it is now, there’s huge scope for holding open-air events there that aren’t beholden to the weather and wet grass.

    It will look nice in the warmer months when leaves return to the trees. It was a missed opportunity to use more colour. What would a dash of colour do to the mood of the park?

    I don’t hate it.

    Look for it on Facebook and you’ll find nothing but complaints unfortunately: Echo Live 1, Cork City Parks Sport and Recreation, Cork City Council, Echo Live 2.

  33. 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
