Passage of time
So yesterday, after my scrambling around mountains in mist and fog from sunrise to sunset, I returned to an old friend. We first met on the 4th of February 2007. I was young and innocent and didn’t know how to handle the situation, but I was so enamored with the beauty in front of me,…

A winter break
While the country was moving from Covid-19 level 5 restrictions to a more open Level-3 I needed to head west to prevent some burst pipes.

Sadly this was not to be, instead receiving 7 acceptances (66%), which is a consolation, given the average acceptance rate…

My first remote shoot
In these strange times I feel lucky to have the headspace to want to exercise my creative side. So when Mischkah asked me if I’d like to try a remote shoot, I gladly said yes. I’d been thinking about these for a while and wondering just how well they would work for me. I enjoy…

A Covid-19 Shoot
My first shoot since the March lockdown in Ireland was earlier this week. It was so nice to get back to a creative collaboration, and with such a talented person as Fanny Müller. This was my second time shooting with Fanny and I was a bit nervous about what to shoot to match the work…

Oliphant self portrait
I gave myself a little escapism during lockdown this week, when my new hand painted custom Oliphant arrived yesterday. I should have known once I opened it to look I would be compelled to take it for a test drive. So given the circumstances a self portrait session was required.
