The Smallest Visitors

I have no idea what these beautiful flowers are (some kind of Iris or Lilly?).  They grow very well in our garden and every year I end up taking photos of them at some stage to try out something new (a new camera, a new macro lens or shooting them in some different way).

I wasn’t going to bother this year and then I saw the late evening sun hitting them and tried shooting the light going through them.

As I did I spotted someone else had already made one of them home.

Down the Road @ St Fin Barre’s

Cork Textiles Network are opening their annual show at St Fin Barre’s Cathedral tomorrow, Thursday 3rd June.  This year’s show is entitled ‘Down the Road’

I spent a day back in March photographing pieces for the exhibition (some still very much works in progress) so that images are now available for the programme, artists’ cards and promotional literature for the show.

It will be nice to see the finished pieces in all their glory in the Cathedral tomorrow.  The show runs until the 17th June.

Good luck to everyone involved.

There was a problem viewing the galleries in Internet Explorer but I think that’s fixed.  As usual the galleries do require Adobe Flash but if there are any more problems, just let me know.

Boys in the Park

More from the Spring sessions.  It seems like ages ago since I met Aoife and her boys in Fitzgerald’s Park.

Thanks again to Aoife and the Lads for a lovely morning in the Park.

Moving Pictures

Generally I haven’t been a fan of audio-visual slide shows.  I remember when I used to work in a ‘cube farm’ in the old Motorola days and browsed to a site which automatically launched an audio-visual show: it brought on panic as I desperately tried to turn off the sound before my cube-buddies realised I was surfing instead of working.

Nevertheless,  I recently had the honour of being asked to talk to Mallow Camera Club for an evening and I thought a slide show might help to keep everyone awake.

This is from a session last autumn.  It has a soundtrack so if you work in an open plan office, turn off the sound before you start!

Apologies to Daire (aka John) for the unfortunate timing of one particular lyric
