Say hello to Captain Socks / Chairman Miaow. He belongs to my friends Sorcha and Eoghan, and they coudn't agree on a name so now he has two. Although these days, I think Sorcha's choice - Captain Socks - has won out. The Captain will come over

I'm back from the Irish Blog Awards, and although I didn't win (the incredibly deserving Red Mum did), I still had an amazing night with fellow blog ladies Michelle, Pamela and Ciara. Congrats to all the winners, especially Donal, the Beaut.ie girls, Nialler9 and the

A little while ago, my mum gave me the coolest gift. It was folder containing little scraps, snippets and clippings of my life. She'd been collecting them pretty much since I was born. There was a napkin from my christening party. My first passport. Notes from parent-teacher meetings.

My borrowed SLR has returned to its owner, so I was flicking through my archives to try and find a photo that summed up how I feel right now, and these vintage wooden "woot" blocks on my bookcase were the closest I came. See, this blog is one

Hola. Hello there poor wee neglected blog. I found it a lot tougher than I thought to maintain a photoblog without my beloved SLR. Combine that with some crummy personal circumstances (which we're better off not discussing on the interwebs) and you get a mixed start to 2010.

Some newborns are small enough to hold with one hand. Not this guy. Baby Darragh is a big, bouncing, healthy boy whose mum laughed out loud when she saw the baby bowl I had brought to photograph him in. There wasn't a hope of him fitting in it.

I really miss taking pics of this little guy. Of course, there are camera phone shots, but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to capture anything like this on an iPhone. This was taken back in December, before he got his hair trimmed and started

I like pens. And pretty papers, and cute notebooks and nice calendars, and lovely card holders. That is all.

There's a great iPhone app by photographer Chase Jarvis called The Best Camera. Now, anyone who's used an iPhone camera (particularly a pre-3GS one) might well laugh at this. I did, until I discovered the full name of Jarvis' app - The Best Camera Is

What the above tongue-twistery headline is trying to suggest is that unfortunately, I am without camera. Sadly, our lovely home got broken into last week and one of the things taken was my trusty SLR and my much adored 50mm 1.4 lens. So this blog might be on a

I had to interrupt my little blog break to share some pictures of our snow-capped city. I hope you had a great New Year! The balcony was covered in snow when we got back on New Year's Eve, so we made a mini snowman! Here he is chilling
