Collins Cat

August 26th, 2008

Long time no post!
I’ve taken a small vacation from photography the past few weeks but I squeezed in a bit of time today for a few shots. The following shot was taken in Dublin city centre at Collins Barracks. I was lucky enough to catch Collins Cat mid shot. The second shot is taken just above Redcross, Co Wicklow.

Me Running

 

Long time no post! I’ve been in the states for about three weeks now and been taking lots a few shots. I haven’t had much time to look at them thought. If you want to see where I’ve been so far you can see My Journey on Google Maps I found lots of smudges on most of my shots and it’s pretty damn annoying. After trying a few different lens I figured out it was my censor.

So - You Want FREE Music??

Ok, Ok I hear you. Your at your computer all day, playing the same music over and over. I know the feeling, I have plenty of albums but I seem to be just listening to the same songs over and over - that’s where Deezer comes in.

Astounding Wall Animation

June 6th, 2008

Wow

I don’t know how to put into words how amazed I am right now. I think for the first minute of watching this I was like “Oh, this is cool”, the second minute “Wow this is crazy”, after that I think my mouth was open up uptil the end (maybe a little drool).

I’m just astonished, the amount of time, effort, dedication and skill it must have taken to pull this off.

May 24th, 2008

Good evening folks,
Well today I headed off to the Liffey but sadly left the boat at home this time :( A nice 2/2.5mg release for the Junior Liffey Descent was supplied by EBS. There was a good turnout and also plenty of playboaters taking advantage of the release at Sluice.

Beautiful Buddy

May 14th, 2008

Another lovely sunny evening and what better way to spend it than to go out and have a wee play with the madra. He’s a collie/red setter mix; the red tint off his coat when the sun shines on him is mesmerizing!! If you’ve read some of my other posts you will know that lately I want to try getting into some more portrait/model work.

Welcome my first ever four legged model, Buddy!

Ho Ho Ho
