It's been too long

It's been too long since I posted anything on here so here's a snippit of the stuff I've been doing this year for Picturehouse photography

1950's Galway girl

Re-creating the 1920's Galway Girl

Original Image from this weekend's shoot in Galway ..edited and aged...
Love to hear your thoughts on my edit. I based the look an some original 1920's images I've seen online. Would you believe this was taken in the 1920's?

Sunshine

I've been enjoying the weather in Ireland the past week so much....did I just write that! Ok, it's back to the rain now, but it was nice while it lasted. My posting has slowed down quite a bit since I moved to Dublin, but I'm still going to make a bit effort to take pictures outside of work and post them here.
Last weekend I took a trip down to Wexford with my sister for my first time and it didn't disappoint. Visited the beutiful beach and dunes at Curracloe. A lovely lunch in the new Tapas place with a friendly waiter to pass the time and a few pics in Wexford town, made for a great weekend away.

My work in print

he he..I'm soo chuffed with this... Samantha choose this picture I took of her for this poster. They have four more too...can't wait to see how they turned out! ...easily pleased me :)

Introducing Mathew

Welcome to the world beautiful baby Mathew. Congratulations to my dear friend Ruth and John on their new arrival. Spring is in the air.

Budapest in March

A tower straight out of a fairy tale
I love this city, the people are so nice(except for a few thieving taxi drivers) and it's beautiful. I tried the national dish, Goulash soup but have to admit to not being a fan, otherwise the food was really nice with unusual combinations of Parmesan cheese on rice and paprika crisps. Paprika seems to be the national spice(do we have an Irish national spice?), as they sell little bags of it to gullible tourists like me.Hidden gem in the city...just stumbled into this lovely place

The madness of moving

Appologies for the lack of updates here lately. Moving to the big smoke has taken up all my time and the chaos of the past 3 weeks has finally caught up with me in the form of the flu. yeah! I'm still living out of a bag, but thankfully the couch surfing has come to an end and I have a room to call mine at least for a time.
I'm pleased to say I am the newest member of the Picture House Photography team. Located in Rathmines in South Dublin, we have a class new studio and we also do home family portraits. It's a fast paced growing business and tons of fun. I'm loving being back in Dublin too, being able to go for a walk and meet a friend in a cafe on a whim is a big change from country living.
All this, and I managed to make it away to Budapest for a weekend break. :) I'll get something from that trip up soon.

Meanwhile here's one from my last shoot in Galway with Samantha and Patrick, two of the best Salsa dancers in the city.
Hope you all had a great St Patricks day. Lovely to see the sun shining again for it.
