The Land of Ire...

** Click on images for larger size **

Some Images from a recent trip to the west coast of Ireland.. We got to see some stunning scenery for the short time we were there and got lucky with some decent weather..
Trried my hand at some panorama images, didnt have a tripod so just hoped stitching the 6 images was going to be alright..
Happy with the results I got as its the only way to capture the beauty of the place !!

Keidis and the Maps...

So, posted great shot of anthony Keidis of the chilli peppers on my facebook page, only for it to be pulled down claiming indecent exposure and it being a "health" concern ???
What ???
Makes you wonder how they found out this "Health" concern was on there in the 1st place !!
So I'm posting it back on my blog, just think its a powerful image and doesn't really harm my health in any way !! Come on FB !!!
Also posted some images of a gig I shot the other day,a band called maps, check them out - Maps

FINS OUT !!!

Daily Photos - 10

So its been a great/painful/exciting time going thru all my images over years while I redo my website.. You waste alot of time flooding thru your images, going over past memories and sometimes getting caught up with it all. I began photographing as A WAY OF CONNECTING with people I would not have been able to do otherwise. But it serves as a great way of retaining past experiences you have in this fast moving world!! Shit time flies with so much happening and all I have are these images/memories - Its therapy going thru them all !!
Here's 2 images I've un-earthed both taken on the same day 1 year apart.. Strange but true...
the 1st is your standard NYC empire state building photo view from the top taken in 2005.. It took us 4 hrs to get to the top of that thing with all the tourists. I was up there for 15 min, I wish I had spent more time up there, it really is a special view and must be seen to believed. I LOVE NEW YORK !!
the 2nd is one of my 1st sessions with my waterhousing in big surf taken of my good friend Paul D. And it was also my 1st pounding taken from a wave with my housing. It doesnt look like it with my wide angle lens, but that wave literally broke on me as I slipped a few frames out before it came down like a ton of bricks !!
I was broken after that. But it felt great ...
The photos were taken on the 10July.
