William Wordsworth was on to something. There is something undeniably mood-lifting about daffodils. Be it their cheery yellowness, the speed at which they bloom, or how they look so delicate and pretty but are actually quite robust. I am thoroughly enjoying the fling with spring that Dublin has be
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 of five finalists in the Best Photoblog [&h
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. However, things ar
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. Instead, I focused on getting shots of […]
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 looking like a proper little boy.

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 little hiatus while I figure out [&hell
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 out in front of Croke park. I […]
Yes, peaceful. As Eoghan pointed out to me in the car on the way home from a mammoth shopping expedition, merry is nice but isn’t peaceful so much better? Peaceful, as in cut cut each other some slack, as in everyone tries that little bit harder to be less crabby, more patient, to go with [&he
