Bobadilla

Bobadilla, Andalucia, Spain, 1998: It was completely by accident I visited Bobadilla at all… We’d caught a night-train from the west coast at Valencia, to Granada in the south. We made the mistake of catching it on a Friday night, on a long weekend. It got really stuffy and intense in the compartment with the […]

Luxsign

Luxor, Egypt, 2005: The old and the new… A traffic sign with the ancient city of Thebes in the background. Egypt is a country full of contrasts and contradictions -not to mention history; and hopefully with the recent unprecedented revolution- a country full of promise…. Canon EOS 55/Canon 28-135is

Departures

London, 2004: Had one of those super-cheap flight’s out of London (Stanstead) to Palermo in Sicily. The catch was… it left at six in the morning. So we got a late flight in from Dublin and killed a bit of time, then wandered around looking for a place to doss for a few hours. It […]

Duo

Central Anatolia, Turkey, 2003: A grab shot of a couple of local lads along the roadside- somewhere near Cappadocia… Canon EOS A2e/Sigma 28-105mm/Kodak Tri-X

B&W

Edinburgh, Scotland, 1998: A contrasting scene during the Edinburgh Festival street festivities… Mamiya ZE/Sekor 50mm f1.7

Crime Scene

Dublin, Ireland, 2002: A chalk outline marks out a crime scene along-side the river Liffey. Someone’s idea of a joke, or the real deal..? Canon EOS 100/28-105

KPL

Dublin, Ireland, 2004: During the demonstrations of Mayday 2004 (see previous) I caught this image of a rather defiant couple. They acted completely oblivious to what was going on behind their backs… 10 minutes later the police charged- I got away but very much doubt they did… Canon EOS5/28-105/Tri-X

Irn-Bru

Camden, London, 1998: I had a pub job for a couple of months on Camden high street. Living up-stairs gave me the opportunity for some interesting shots- it was a mad time in Camden town! Irn-Bru is a bright orange soft drink- the name originates from it’s connections with the Scottish Steel/Iron works where it […]

Bogside

Derry, Northern Ireland, 1999: The neighbourhood of “The Bogside” just outside the old city walls of Derry, has been the focus for many events of “The Troubles”. ‘The Battle of the Bogside” and “Bloody Sunday” in particular… Contrary to the norm in Ireland, I didn’t exactly recieve the warmest of welcomes- particularly while documenting the […]
