Working on post with Brian Dowling at BDImages. Sometimes I look at pictures I've shot on digital and wish I had shot them on film. Digital is just too sharp, too hard edged and sometimes it can be hard to take that off in the post though this series shot with Lauren English seems to be working out well.

I'm glad I'm not a passport photographer. It took three separate sessions to get these pictures. At least now the girls will be able to go on their summer holiday.

New story just published in D magazine. See all

Pool party for Vi's birthday with the best cuisine!

Looking for an overgrown urban garden to shoot in.

I don't know how I always seem to end up in these tight spots!

Looking for a horse for a shoot. Found this one standing in the street. 

I chair the NGO Sport Against Racism Ireland (SARI) and every June, with UNHCR Ireland, we host the World Refugee Day Fair Play Cup at The Law Society sports grounds in Dublin. It's an opportunity to mark the plight of refugees worldwide and the lives of those refugees living in Ireland - and to invite them to take part in the tournament. Many of them are refugees in waiting - Asylum seekers - living in Direct Provision Centres scattered around the country. They are not allowed to work and receive €19.10 per week. Each child is allocated €9.60 per week. www.sari.ie  www.unhcr.ie

Very sad to hear that Roger Mayne passed away on Saturday. His Southam Street series of photographs from the mid/late Fifties remains one of my favourite. I am fortunate to have some prints from the series including this one.

At St. Paul's for the wedding of my friends Steve Pyke and Nic Kaczorowski.
