Burningboy

I was back in Kavanas this weekend, for the launch of the EP, The Dark Months by Burningboy aka Terry Byrne.

I arrived just as Terry was about to start with a few laid back songs.

The night got livelier as it progressed & he was soon joined by special guests, including The Valves.

It turned out to be a most enjoyable night & after a short chat with Terry & the Valves i headed off with a CD & t shirt tucked into my bag.

Thank you for visiting & have a enjoyable week

Declan O'Rourke

When i received an offer of a free ticket to attend a performance by Declan O'Rourke ( thanks Joe ), of course i said yes & brought niki (Nikon ).

 Not the normal style of music i have shoot of late, indeed i felt like an intruder, the music was so laid back. Definitely not the place for my cheeky tog style of music shooting. Usually when shooting bands i might have ear plugs in & feel the camera shooting. Here i was almost flinching as the sound of the shutter seemed to me, to be reverberating around the room. Yes, it was that mellow.

So i grabbed a few shots & then enjoyed the music.

Thank you for visiting & have a good week.

Long Exposure

As often happens, when i was practising a new type of shot, the practise shots turn out better than the planned ones. Here is such a shot. People with sharp eyes will be able to tell what time it was, what radio station i was listening to & where in portlaois i happened to take the shot

Creativity block

I seem to have a creativity block at the moment, a lot of other stuff is dragging my attention elsewhere.

Working on my house is the main culprit, i know it is necessary, but its still a bit annoying.
Hope you are having a great week & if you have any ideas to break this dry spell let me know.

Old Red Door

A door i pass on the way to work. I just had to stop & get a photo, i really loved the texture of the paint & ivy. Just a question, do you think i constricted it too much, maybe i should have given it a little more room to breathe?
