Glass light shimmering

and the eye becomes lost to the imagination of childhood
and the world becomes a place of jewels lost in light
and the wonderment enthrals the spirit to joyous reverie 
if only for a fleeting moment in this aeon of dulled life.

When the street presents the wonderfully intriguing visual to you, make sure you have your camera with you.

Motion

The slide rule of fun is motion

Using motion without blur to give a sense of the activity and the event.

The Factory

This is the Guinness factory in Dublin, Ireland. I shot and processed it using HDR to add a heightened sense of drama to the scene. The idea behind the shot was to envision the industrial age, so when processing the image I tried to imagine how the industrial age may have seemed to people as these enormous factories sprung up around Europe and their whole world changed forever. I purposely avoided making the image black & white and went for the starkness of heightened colour and light reality, hoping to capture the visual sense of first human interaction with the scene. I hope you like it.

Constant History.

Found that the ghost characters in this shot reminded me of the constant that Christ Church Cathedral has been to that landscape of Dublin city and of all the people through time who have walked pass it.

Hidden Stories

Walking, I listen for the story of the landscape - the words unspoken. Their story touches the soul in a way indescribable, it is just enough to sense it.

Cloudscape

In the vast vault of the sky,
White clouds make riot of shapes,
While sunlight blazons and eye sleeps in vision.
