Studio Photos

I’ve posted an album of photos of inside and outside my studio. It’s on FaceBook but you should be able to view them without logging in.
The photos complement the existing page here on my studio but don’t yet include any shots of the orchard, the house that the stableyard is attached to, or of [...]

Photo: Oifig An Phoist

Another Dublin photo for you. It’s the post office on Usher’s Quay in Dublin 8.
If you’re not Irish, Oifig An Phoist is Irish for “Post Office”. In fact even if you are Irish, that’s what it is.

Photo: Blades of Grass

A photo. Of blades of grass.
Ok, I know it’s not really blades of grass - but it looks like grass and I’m useless at plant names, so maybe it even is grass after all or somewhere in the family, like that relative you name-drop but never actually see.

Jim Larkin - Sale

A photo of Big Jim Larkin on O’Connell Street. When I noticed the juxtaposition of the Clery’s sale sign and the poster of the woman, together with the statue of Ireland’s great socialist, I went in search of the angle to take the photo that’s crying out for a caption. The great appear great because [...]

And Her Streets Of Cobbled Stone

Dublin. A photo.
I’m not mad on these newer style of cobblestone. Maybe it’s their relative newness but they’re a bit fake looking of edge, and kinda funky looking of colour. Having said that, squares, patterns, shapes, lines, and iteration, I could look at all day.

Photo: Abbey Street, That Door

Another Dublin photo. This one is of that door on Middle Abbey Street, right by where my old bus terminus used to be, across the road from where the Aldelphi used to be, and the old Lighthouse come to think of. See what recession’s do, they get you thinking of Dublin in the rare ould [...]

Sunlight Chambers, Grattan Bridge Lamps

Here’s a Dublin photo for you from the weekend. It’s of Sunlight Chambers on Essex Quay taken from Ormond Quay so as to include the lamps on the western side of Grattan Bridge, a bridge some of you will be inclined to call Capel Street Bridge.
All of which reminds me that I still have an [...]

Photo: Daisies

A photo of some daisies growing wild here in Dublin West. It’s hard not to like them when they impress upon you in such numbers.
