Hotel showers haven’t been the same since 1960.

A pool of water, frozen over on a clifftop in North #Mayo. It's iced over & you could walk on it. If it were to break you'd be safe as it's only a few inches deep. Yes, if you were to take a few steps back, you'd fall to your death in the atlantic ocean. #scapes #landscape #photography #nature

Robert Grace, Mundy, Smash Hits and Aslan. Just some of the acts at The Greenfields Festival in Athy over the May Bank Holiday weekend!

So my girlfriend is an amazing stop motion animator, and she recently did a medieval cat themed bumper for Adult Swim! Sharing it here because she only has Instagram and I think everyone needs to see her animations. She's so freaking talented, y'alls. PLEASE go follow her!

I’ve been busy in the garden, hacking away at the long grass, thistles and dandelions. I caught a glimpse of colour and stooped to investigate. It struck me that people are like this flower. Hidden amongst all the hatred and anger there are beautiful kind souls.

Had the absolute pleasure of attending Rosenallis AFC 50th Anniversary celebration yesterday. John Aldridge was the guest of honour and he was as sound as you’d expect.

I was really struck by the levels of poverty in Blackpool when I visited last week - parts of it reminded me of Downtown Eastside Vancouver, the poorest district in Canada. Lovely people but terrible poverty. Successive governments have totally failed areas like these.

Some amazing Irish acts announced this morning for Forest Fest in Emo. Looking forward to getting some more shots of Paddy Casey and Kiera Dignam. #concertphotography

Because Guaranteed Irish are heavily advertising at the moment. I thought I would remind you all. It does not mean that products with their symbol are made in Ireland. Just saying. #SLATED

Happy international women’s day to the quiet women of the world. The mothers who never get name checked at awards ceremonies. The women whose work is not noticed until it isn’t done. The volunteers who bring succour to the sick, company to the lonely, and comfort to the dying 1/ #IWD2025

I absolutely love it when a fine art print arrives. A 20x20 inch 'This Must Be Place'. I’m extremely passionate about printing my work. This week I am giving two presentations to two local camera clubs, which I am excited about! My presentation is titled 'A Portfolio in Print'.

While Vance is lecturing Europe over free speech, Trump is banning it.

We go again. Niall is busy ploughing the White Field, so that we can sow this year's malting barley to make next year's beers. It's turning up pretty well, so it's back to anxiously watching the weather forecast to plan when to roll and sow. #Ballykilcavan #Laois #SpéirGorm

Buying from @bridgebooksdromore.bsky.social is like receiving such wonderful gift through the post. Can’t wait to start my new @roisinm.bsky.social book! Happy mid term everyone!

Finally managed to see the #Gallery365photo exhibition in #NewcastleCityLibrary this morning and I’m very glad I did. This is a cracking collection of lovely, varied images and well worth a visit if you’re around. Closes March 5th so best get a wriggle on!

#3goodthings 1. Gratin potatoes. LOTS of cheese. 2. A horse through a gate. 3. Posh looking coffee.

Enjoying the show at Peace Proms 2025 in UL Sports Arena. A cross-border initiative with over 900 young voices lifted in song, accompanied by a youth orchestra, an all-ireland uileann piper, dancers and others. Many thanks @martinamorrow.bsky.social

Think I’ve finally discovered how to get the best shots using the lens I have whilst the telephoto is out of action. One from today’s St Kevin’s U17’s vs Larkview FC match.

We're looking for people who've had to transliterate their names from another alphabet into the Latin one -- or who've even changed their name to one easier for English speakers to pronounce -- upon moving to Dublin. Want to talk, for an article, about the change: how you decided, how it feels?

Don’t complain about the toxic influence of unaccountable billionaires if you are continuing to use their platforms and/or buy their products.

Well, now. This is what our industry has to deal with. I have said it before, and I will say it again, DCCI are a disgrace and need to be properly looked at. Feel free to RT so more people realise what is happening. #SLATED #DCCI www.irishtimes.com/culture/art/...

Here’s hoping for many more days like this one from September last year. The @derrycityfc.net fans in the away end at Dalymount. #sportsphotography

Today was the funeral of my dear friend who took his own life... even though he was the king of life, the king of wisdom, the king of kindness and the king of care. I don't know how to find a way to live without him.

Derry is still our shining star 🤩 (Also, VSW is still available, they have an online store!)
