Attack of the Killer Penguins

Hi all.

Term is just  over and I'm a bit wrecked! Our last hand-in was Graphics and we had to design a DVD cover for a fictitious film using our own images. I used some of my images from Antarctica and turned my penguins evil. Hope you like them.

Spectacle of Hope & Defiance

These are some of the pictures I got last Sat (3rd Dec) at a protest against austerity by local communities and youth groups in Dublin. It was very colourful as they all wore red.
I was surprised though that it got no press whatsoever as far as I could see. I'd say there had to be over 1000 people there!

Hurrah ! - I got three images in Photography Ireland 2012

I found out last week that 3 of my images are printed in this years Photography Ireland Book. The book is produced by the Irish & Northern Irish Photography Federation every year. 

I'm delighted. Now it's getting very near to the end of term so I'll get back to my project work. It's not time to panic yet but it's pretty close :(

Turning Paparazzi !

Hi there,
              One of our lecturers wanted us out and about with our cameras this term, getting shots of well know people. I loitered with intent outside Dublin castle when the economic forum was on,  in the hope of getting a pic of Bill Clinton who was the guest speaker. He stayed very hidden in his van so I had to settle for pics of Bono and Gaybriel Byrne.. Not a bad evenings work.

Earlier in the week I had hung around the Dail and try to recognise some of our nations politicians!
I got this pic of Gerry Adams as he was heading in.

I didn't think paparazzi snapping would be my thing but it's quite sociable - you always end up chatting away the wait with strangers.

Gliding through the Docklands

Here are some of my photos for a college project on segways. Please note that these were all taken while moving at speed. It's great fun :)

The Decadent on the Divine

Culture night brought McGann Millinery to the Orangery

in Kilruddery House situated in Bray, Co Wicklow.

 I thought it made a good mix for some unusual images.

The Docklands, Dublin

Went for a wander down the Dublin docklands on Saturday (perfectly innocent mind you). It's years since I've seen it last - The Point was the only attraction then. I really like the Harp bridge, must try to see it when's it's raised. Here are a few of my images.
