2020 Streaming Desk

2020 Streaming Desk The events of last year forced me to improvise my setup when it comes to streaming. I chose to suffer lockdown in Ireland, and that caused me to become separated from my long standing studio setup of over 10 years. My overwhelming thought at the outset  was. Oh how times have changed……

storm over Sligo

Perfect Storm

Perfect Storm This just encapsulated everything that I adored about living in the North West of Ireland. The Crowded House song “Four Seasons in one day” would constantly be playing in my head while living there. I really dislike cloudless skies, the clouds for me make a landscape image. So, the weather up there was…

King of the North

King of the North Alice, Ana and myself went out with the cameras around the Ben Bulben Horseshoe path. We were walking up the small twisting road when some sheep appeared high on a ridge on right. All but one of the sheep ran away as we approached except…  This one. He calmly walked to…

“O”

“O” I love this image so much. As you can imagine, it was taken in a moment of reflex, no time to prepare, just do it. The main thing that happened was it quickly became associated with a song I liked, and now, they are one… So the song is “O”, it is from the…

Wave in Maugherow, Ireland

The Wave

The Wave I could write a novel about the waves on this particular day. In all of my travels, I had never seen waves take this form before. Best thing of all… This location was four kilometres from my house in Magherow, simply mesmerising. I remember it was around Easter time, I was living in…

My Magic Mushrooms Illegal buy, Illegal to sell, but… Perfectly legal to buy a grow kit and produce your own. While I was living in Utrecht, Holland of course. Honestly, how fucked is that, on a law making level. After my experience with LSD, and that experience so so good. I thought I would try…

Mothers Day

Mothers Day 2020 I love this image on so many levels. The colours, natural light coming in from a rooftop window. Completely natural expressions, genuine love and affection. Just beautiful. A great mothers day moment. Alice and Ana asked if I would take some pictures of them. I had no idea they were dressing up.…

Ben Bulben Tree

B Ben Bulben, Tree I spotted this wind blown tree on a dog walk with a friend. We went to a walk at the base of Ben Bulban, Sligo. I could not stop looking at this tree, the symmetry with the triangle shaped field in the background just spoke to me… I stopped and viewed…

Ben Bulben from Maugherow

Ben Bulben, Maugherow This beautiful spot was fifteen minutes from my home in Maugherow, North West Ireland. What you see is the Ben Bulban mountain range. From left to right you also see the extreme weather changes that would occur. Ben Bulben, Maugherow It was so easy to be in Maugherow. This beach shot was…

Misfat Al-Abriyeen view

Misfat Al-Abriyeen

Misfat Al-Abriyeen On my first one day road trip I visited this beautiful small town. We stopped here for lunch and then walked around for a while. Misfal Al-Abreen is an exquisite experience. All I remember was two emotions. I didn’t want to leave, and, wanted to return very soon. I will stay here for…
