  1. It matters that Ireland is an island. That makes its past and present different from many other countries – The Irish Times

  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. 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....

  9. Feeder traffic at Carbery Cottage

    The feeder at Carbery Cottage Guest Lodge on the Sheep’s Head is inside a rusted steel cage, so I couldn’t get a single photo without bars in it. It also stops crows and larger birds getting at the food! The great tits were juveniles, still yellow in the cheek and...

It also stops crows and larger birds getting at the food! The great tits were juveniles, still yellow in the cheek and a bit ragged about the head, and they spent more time hanging off the wire than actually feeding.

  19. 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.

  20. A Quiet Evening in Kinsale

    Even on a calm evening when I took this photo, a moored boat moves about if given enough time. This long exposure shows the slight movements that show the water isn’t quite as still. There’s no wind to speak of, the surface looks like polished slate, and...

  21. A Quiet Evening in Kinsale

    Even on a calm evening when I took this photo, a moored boat moves about if given enough time. This long exposure shows the slight movements that show the water isn't quite as still. There's no wind to speak of, the surface looks like polished slate, and yet the boat is nodding away to itself, tethered to that bright red buoy like a child trying to stand still for a school photo.

  22. Next concert tomorrow - and the very first one we’re co-organising in Ireland with France Baroque and the Church of Ascension - will take place in the beautiful village of Timoleague, a place rich in remarkable history!

    On the programme: “Les Folies Françaises” , in partnership with the community of the Church of the Ascension.

    A beautifulmoment to share together in the West Cork region.

    Hope to see you there!

  28. A boat disturbs the water

    As you may have seen over the last few days I was taking photos of the boats moored in Kinsale Harbour. Until another boat came along and sped past, disturbing the scene and rocking everything about. Still a lovely evening there, and it was about time to move on anyway. 🙂

  29. Masts and Mirrors

    I visited Kinsale recently with Blarney Photography Club. Many photos were taken all around the town, but I went down the quay to start with the boats mooored nearby.
