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. -

Gilding the Door on Popes Quay
A man is repainting the front door of St Mary's Dominican Church on Popes Quay. It can be easy to forget that massive buildings that have been there all the time need constant maintenance.https://inphotos.org/2026/09/05/gilding-the-door-on-popes-quay/

The Photographer and the Cliff
The cliff below the Baltimore Beacon drops a long way, and the only way to show that was to put a person at the top of the frame. Luckily, a fellow photographer was busy doing the same thing I was doing. I walked over afterwards and spoke to him and his wife. They are Swiss, over on holiday in a camper van. He had the tripod set up right on the edge with the camera low down to capture the heather and gorse flowering along the lip. I never got his contact details, so if that is you, or you […]https://inphotos.org/2026/09/04/the-photographer-and-the-cliff/

The Beacon Through the Gorse
I got down low in the gorse to photograph the Baltimore Beacon, so most of the frame is flowers and wire rather than the beacon itself. A few groups came and went as I photographed the Beacon, but I don't think any of them stooped down low and put their camera in the gorse!https://inphotos.org/2026/09/02/the-beacon-through-the-gorse/

Evening Light on Sheep’s Head
Sunset on the north side of Sheep's Head last night, looking over towards the Beara Peninsula. I didn't expect much colour, but a break in the clouds let the light through. It was gone within minutes, but not before I had shot it dozens of times!https://inphotos.org/2026/09/01/evening-light-on-sheeps-head/

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.https://inphotos.org/2026/08/31/sitting-in-the-sun-at-bantry-market/

The Stones Arches of Ballydehob
The tide was full, and the water had gone completely flat, so the stone arches came out twice in the frame. We were lucky. The weather back home in Blarney was atrocious, with rain falling from cloudy skies.https://inphotos.org/2026/08/30/the-stones-arches-of-ballydehob/

Zebra Print in Whitehall
Trans+ Pride filled the streets of central London last July, and after the march we were walking up past Whitehall accompanied by many who took part. There was plenty of glamour and beautiful people around, and I was so happy that this lady allowed me to take a photo of her!...

I should be free to feel
Two Met officers stood right in front of me, so I had to read the placard over their shoulders. Someone had hand-lettered it in the pink, white and blue of the trans flag, packing the words in tighter as the board ran out, and the last line vanishes behind a head anyway. At Trans+ Pride in London last year. -
Fixing the fishing line
Sometimes the fishing line gets tangled and you need to stop what you're doing and fix it. -

A woman stopped right in front of me while I was taking some long exposure shots of the passing crowd. -

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!...

Stall 27
Six people stood at the counter with their backs to me, all of them looking down into the glass case of amber and silver. The wall behind the stallholder was covered with icons and painted crucifixes right up to the arch, under lights warm enough to make the gilding glow. Nobody looked up at any of it. The icons cover the wall, but the jewellery in the case is what people came to buy. -
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.https://inphotos.org/2026/08/13/wheeling-through-the-square/

The dogs of Kraków
Three dogs in Kraków over the course of a couple of hours. Only the Pomeranian was doing any work, pulling its owners along for a walk. The dachshund was travelling in style in a pram, and the Maltese was patiently waiting for the conversation to end so the walk could continue. I love to see dogs (and cats!) when I'm travelling. -
Gino’s on a Bench
Sometimes all you want on a warm summer's day is a milkshake and a bench to sit on. -
Posing in the sunlight
The bright light of the late afternoon sun shone into an arcade in Kraków's Main Market Square. I spotted a photographer photographing two women. A moment they'll remember but the tourists walking past paid it no heed. -
Access at Own Risk
The rain was falling steadily as I photographed this sign on the Sheep’s Head peninsula.
Curious about the sign, I looked up The Anchorage and found this for sale page saying it was recently sold, but an archive.org copy from 2019 shows the seller was looking for €695,000 back then.

Rods Out at Ballycotton
Seven anglers had the end of Ballycotton pier to themselves, rods out over the water, while the sun went down behind the far shore. I was there for the sunset and happy to photograph the fishermen looking for fish. -
Perched and Patient
A heron perched on a boat in Kinsale harbour last year. Patient and watching. -
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.https://inphotos.org/2026/06/13/silhouettes-on-henry-street/

A Siamang and Her Little Passenger
The siamang barely moved while I framed the shot. Two long arms hooked around the timber, and then a bundle of jet-black fur with two enormous eyes peering up. I'd wandered over to Fota's gibbon island half-expecting the usual whooping chorus, but instead caught this quieter scene: mum holding her ground in a patch of sun, baby latched on to her. The light caught the auburn glints in her coat and the tiny one's startled little face, and I had maybe three seconds before she swung off into the […]https://inphotos.org/2026/05/06/a-siamang-and-her-little-passenger/

Paul Young and Jamie Moses, eyes closed and lost in it
I had a fifth-row seat for Paul Young at St. Luke's last night. It was sold out, so it was worth getting in early for the "From No Parlez to The Secret Of Association" tour. The clue was in the billing: this was pitched as intimate conversation plus acoustic versions, not a greatest-hits run-through. Judging by the chatter and occasional heckling that drifted up from the rows behind me, plenty of the room hadn't read that bit. Forty years on from a debut album that went straight to number […]https://inphotos.org/2026/05/03/paul-young-and-jamie-moses-eyes-closed-and-lost-in-it/

Hen-do detour through Gerrard Street
I caught these two coming out of the crush on Gerrard Street, London, last summer. The blonde in the GANNI tee looks like she's mid-anecdote; her friend, in a white off-shoulder dress with a tiny veil pinned over a leopard headband, has the slightly stunned grin of someone three hours into a hen weekend and starting to enjoy it. London Chinatown is a brilliant place to wander in a bridal veil. The pavement is so packed nobody quite registers it, and you can stand under a lantern eating […]https://inphotos.org/2026/04/26/hen-do-detour-through-gerrard-street/

Barefoot on the Dunes
We'd climbed up onto the dunes just as the weather turned. One minute it was postcard Fuerteventura. Bright sand, blue sea, the whole thing was beautiful and the next a slab of grey had slid in off the Atlantic and parked itself overhead. Suddenly we were running for our cars as rain pelted down. But that was 5 minutes into the future. For now people were enjoying the dunes in Fuerteventura. -
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.

Northern Lights Over North Cork
You don’t expect to stand in a field north of Blarney and watch the northern lights, but here we are. Last night the aurora put on a show visible well into southern Ireland. Bands of pink and magenta hung across the sky, bleeding into that unmistakable green glow along the horizon. To the naked eye nothing could be seen, but the camera pulled out colours that made the whole scene look otherworldly.
A passing car lit up the bare trees on the ridge at just the right moment, backlighting them with a warm glow that played off the green aurora behind. It was one of those happy accidents you couldn’t plan if you tried. Even the electricity poles added something, a reminder that this was a country road in Cork, not the Arctic Circle. These events have become more frequent as we near solar maximum, so keep an eye on the Kp index and have a dark-sky spot in mind, because the next one might be even better.

Run! A Stag Defends His Harem
Last October we spotted a herd of deer, both stags and hinds, in a field. It wasn’t long before another stag wandered in and decided to break up the party.
After running around for a bit, the stag ran through the group of hinds and then walked away, trailing 3 of them!

Cool Against the Neon
While the Haidilao facade throws everything it has at the pavement, all pandas and beer mugs and flashing Chinese characters competing for attention, this man just leans there in quiet command: blazer, open collar, white trousers, flat cap, phone in hand, utterly unbothered. He doesn’t need to compete with the lights because he’s already won.

Sunset Fishing at Ballycotton Pier
A series of photos showing men fishing off the pier at Ballycotton, Co Cork a couple of weeks ago. It was a beautiful evening. Lovely time to be there.

Trans+ Pride London 2025
An estimated 100,000 people joined the Trans+ Pride event yesterday in London as they marched from near BBC Broadcasting House, past Downing Street, and on to Westminster Palace to Parliament Square Gardens. It was spectacular & emotional to watch.
“The message was clear: we will not be erased. Our existence is natural, historic, and enduring. You can try to take away our rights, but you will never remove us from society. We are a part of humanity, and the public will not stand by while harm is done to our community.”
Lewis G Burton, one of the founding members of London Trans+ Pride
More coverage from the Guardian & BBC and elsewhere.
