  2. Cycled over to my friend’s bookshop in the next village for an ‘In Converstion with’ artist Mollie Douthit and author Sara Baume for a launch of ‘Opening Night’ by Sara.

    The book centres around the author & artist meeting and the contours of that friendship.

  7. 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....

  17. 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....

    The poster girl gets the beach, the dunes, the perfect light and a 30% discount; the actual shopper gets a footpath, a purple handbag and a too-warm day in the town....

  21. RE: mastodon.ie/@JasonLee/11650986

    Let’s continue here with some 2026 Ballydehob Jazz Fest photos.

    The same year (2024) I made this photo which became this cyanotype of Stephanie Nilles (previous post), Thomas Deakin was also over on tour. That time with Bonnie Prince Billy.

    Nice having them both back and as my neighbours for the week.

  23. The 20th Ballydehob Jazz Festival kicked off last night with Paul Dunlea Quintet & Lau Noah.

    That was some mighty start.

    If you’re heading this way, see you here. 🎷🥁💃🎂

  24. Only just noticed that my bottle of Cyanotype sensitiser ‘expired in 2019’ 😑 still works to some degree, which is what we want right now.

    Doing some wee fun tests on an image with what I have to hand.

    Stay tuned for more on this. 📷🎞️

  25. Flat calm high tide at the estuary.

    Icy patches on the roads and paths with some cars / vans moving through the village.

  26. Usual high water shenanigans down at the estuary / 12 arch bridge with added waves blowing in.

    Fairly mild out.

  27. My old pal John Blek back with dutch trio Woolf down at Levis Corner House & my other pal Karis on decks to end the night.

    Lots of birthday shenanigans kicking around the house that night. 🥳

  28. Rocks in the Misty Surf of West Cork

    The restless Atlantic waves become ghostly veils of white mist caressing the rocks on Owenahincha Beach, Co Cork.

    Henry shared a photo of this same rock yesterday. There are lovely swirls of water in his photo.

  29. Driftwood at Owenahincha

    Last night Blarney Photography Club travelled to Owenahincha Beach to do some seascapes. We hoped to do some Milky Way photography later in the evening too but cloud cover got thicker and after some socialising in the nearby Celtic Ross Hotel we went home.

  30. @clickhere yeah it’s going to be some adventure for them. Hope they get loads of support along the way!

    Any idea when lead riders expected to finish?

  31. @clickhere Given the next decent coffee is about another 8 km away and after that… by way of the route, at least another 60+ if they’re timing meets the opening times. Wise lads. 🫣

    As one of the two lads said “we’re about 5% of the way in…” and off they went.

  32. @clickhere thanks for sharing that on!

    Just caught it in time to catch some of them passing through here. 🙌🚴🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

    Might have more photos from the big camera later.

  33. The one time running out the backdoor of Rosie’s cantina would get you into even more trouble.

  35. Eventually the fog thickened & flattened all the light up & down the valley, but, until then it was a calm & quiet time watching shapes & colours shifting.
