I have decided to try colour film and I'm really liking the results. This man was very nice to pose for me at his fruit and veg shop in Smithfield.

The very nice owner of Dun Leary's Last Corner Shop posing for me. I went into Dun Laoighre yesterday specially to fill a roll of 35mm black and white film, as part of a project I'm doing called 'Five streets'. I loved this Newsagents and I wanted to buy something, so I got the last issue of the Spanish magazine 'Hola'. I know all there is to know about the Spanish Royal family now...
This photo is also my first of my 1/52 project I'm doing with the Dublin Photowalk group in which I have to take and upload a photo a week for a whole year. I'm also doing the 1/365 one (one photo per day for the whole year)!
Date of photo: 4/1/2014
Camera: Canon 300X with 28mm lens
Film: Kodak Tmax 400
Dev: R09 (10m @1+50)

Also photo number 4 of my 365 project (Dublin Photowalk 365 Project), in which I have to take a photo everyday for a year, I'm hoping to manage for all of them to be street!

Very happy at last I got my darkroom going yesterday and managed to produce a print! Will do more prints soon when I have a few more bits and pieces like a focus finder and a switch timer that will make life a lot easier!

Solo exhibition!

Really excited about my first solo exhibition at the Brick Alley Cafe, 25 East Essex Street, Temple Bar. I’m delighted to have the opportunity to exhibit my work in such a nice and central venue. The exhibition features both my digital and analogue black and white work and shows different visions of Dublin, a city I very much love, from cityscapes, street scenes and portraits of Dublin people, to my more introspective, almost abstract works. The photographs were taken between 2010 and 2012 and they will be in the Brick Alley Cafe till April 7th. Will also have additional work at The Cat's Miau shop on 74 Francis street during the month of March.
