I know, another flower, I never know when to stop...

Back home!

While I was in France I went down to the Dordogne region which I don't know that much. I really like the houses there in the country side, all stone houses with woods everywhere. Unfortunately I didn't any time to take pictures so I only came back with a few photos.

Le vieux Paris


Paris I'm coming!

One more week and then I'm going to Paris to work there for about 2 weeks at least. I'm very excited as I'm going to be setting up a new team in Dublin from scratch. Hopefully I'll get some time to go around the city and take photographes, but I doubt it.

Glendalough tower


This is another picture from Glendalough (somewhere in the Wicklow mountains, south of Dublin). I really love that place, although in the evening with the fog it looks a bit creepy.

Bent Bicycle


In Dublin, never leave your bicycle unattended or you will find it with bent wheels when you get back. Seriously, what's up with that? It's like a hobby in this town!

Halloween Special


That's a special halloween, coming up soon... sorry... just got bored I guess!

Flower and movement


I remember that day, just after raining (that's new). It was quite windy so the flowers didn't stay still, and I actually like it like that.

Tree with view


Alright, I didn't really go out much this week-end. I blame the Formula One for keeping me home most of the afternoon today! Anyway, here's a picture I took earlier this year when I went to Canada. I quite like this tree standing there looking over the Niagara falls.

Need to rest!




After all the stress from the week I'm just wrecked. I think I need to go out and walk a lot this week-end. A bit of sports + photography might help me reduce my stress level, I really need to do something about it... but for now I just need to rest and relax.

Coloured houses

I'm starting to run out of photos, I really need to get out there. I think I'll go outside the city at the week-end and hope for no rain...

A walk through town...




I'm just back from a walk in town, and the whole city centre was packed with people... I took afew photos on the way back, close to my appartment. It was a long time since I saw a Citroen 2cv!



Again some pictures from yesterday (yes, more boats!), but this time in B&W. Today's actually as grey as yesterday, but even though the rain could be imminent, I think I'll chance it and go out in quest for more photos.

A day in Howth...







Today was quite pleasant even though it was cloudy and coming to September I may not see many Saturdays without rain (a bit pessimist I know). Well, here are some shots I took around the harbour in Howth.

Sunglasses...


I just wanted to try something here.

Thinking...


Same day as below, on the same pictureoriginally was my friend. He wasn't pausing, just day dreaming.

Waiting...


This is the picture of a friend taken somewhere outside Madrid. It was raining pretty heavy and we were just waiting there for the rain to stop.

Following Don Quijote...


Driving down towards the Spanish capital.

Marina and Boats


Taken walking down the marina in Valencia.

Flower & Rain


For all the rainy days to come...

Connemara... in B&W


That's a photo taken in the west of Ireland. It's normally very green but I prefer it in B&W. It look rainy and empty, which ismore or less the truth really. I think there are more sheep than peole in thois region of Ireland.

Urban... rainy though


This is a photo I took in Toronto a few months ago. It was raining like... here in Dublin!

Singing... the Commitments guitarist


Alright, now I started with the photos from the Commitments... this is the guitarist, also sings.

Singing... the Commitments lead singer


This one was taken the same day as the one below. I prefer this shot in B&W and would have prefered more intensity in the singer's face but at least the singing was good.

Singing... the Commitments


This is a shot I took last year, shortly after receiving my SLR. This was taken at the Commitments concert in Merrion Square, Dublin. I changed most of the shots that day to B&W but for this one it didn't seem right.

Sailing...


I just found that picture I took last year somewhere south of Dublin. I really likt the colour and the fact that it looks relaxing. The boat really comes out in this blue background.

I want to start entering some competitions in order to keep my motivation and make some progress. The competition I want to enter is organised by Digital Camera Magazine (http://poty2008.dcmag.co.uk/3913562628353997603/2007winners.html). I have low expectations about the results but that way I can't be disappointed. Does anybody know some competitions to enter?

Also, please don't hesitate to comment and share your pictures with me. I'd really like to start practicing on portraits but it's not easy to find the model for it, most people don't like to be photographed!
