McAWilliams: Scott Kelby Photowalk Lizard on glass
I have no idea if this was purposely put on the glass, or if its from one of the many new age graffiti artists around, all I know is it really works well.
Iced Coffee: summer experiment
The Summer Experiment play Auntie Annies on Wednesday 27th August. Then disappear into the night. Never to be seen again.
They said it better than I could
What happens when a band is faced with its own end before it even gets off its feet? Would this knowledge change their plan of action? Could it change the band’s dynamic? Could it even change the music? The Experiment is exactly this: a ‘band’ in its dying days from before you had even heard of them….it is what it is…no strings attached…just creativity. Doing what you can while you can. This is what we decided to make of Summer 2008 and we hope to remind everyone of the amazing things that happen when artists just allow themselves to create.”
The Summer Experiment taking place in Auntie Annies, Belfast on the 27th of August marks the end
of the three month project undertaken by the Summer Experiment Quartet. Through this period the ‘band’ has worked towards a handful of gigs to be rounded up with The Summer Experiment itself this week in Auntie Annies.
The Summer Experiment is not just another band playing music at you from the stage. It is not just another gig with some bands you might have heard of before. It is a chance for you to take part and become part of the histo
ry of The Summer Experiment.
There is no aim, method, result or conclusion. The arrangement of fixed sonic material may be based around theories of metric structure, perception of events, evolution and mistakes. There are no white coats or microscopes however there will be unfair tests conducted in uncontrolled environments with no safety goggles. There may be lab rats.
The Summer Experiment will be performing live experiments. These will be administered without anaesthetics and there will be no refund for unexpected results.
Attempting to bring audience participation and collaboration to a gig, The Summer Experiment will be the greatest band that never wanted to be…
inphotos.org: Ye olde church
This church in Castletownbere in West Cork looks like it may have seen better days but by the looks of the mowed grass it’s probably still in use.
The Canon 40D was delivered today. I could have posted a sample picture but I didn’t have time to shoot anything interesting besides a few snaps of family. Loving the 3″ LCD on the back of the camera, it’s so quiet compared to the Canon 20D, hardly any noise at ISO 400, and experimenting with the auto ISO mode. That should help with street photography where light conditions change so rapidly.

Long time no post!
I’ve taken a small vacation from photography the past few weeks but I squeezed in a bit of time today for a few shots. The following shot was taken in Dublin city centre at Collins Barracks. I was lucky enough to catch Collins Cat mid shot. The second shot is taken just above Redcross, Co Wicklow.
Thanks for having a look and feel free to add comments
Iced Coffee: froggy

After taking the previous two shots on my walk through Ormeau Park close to my house, I went off the path, began looking around the grass for interesting stuff. Then I saw something orange/brown/gold move close to the ground.
It stopped. A frog. I had never seen a frog like this in Belfast and was very pleased that it didn’t just run off, but instead stayed very still in the grass allowing me to get very close to it and take plenty of shots.
Gingerpixel: Boland’s Mill
Canon 5D, 200mm, f5.6, 1/200, ISO 200
Another Saturday, another photowalk, this time around Dublin’s Docklands with about 30 photographers for the Scott Kelby photowalk. Redmum, McAWilliams, Darren were there and I also got to meet Jennifer Farley, whose blog I’ve been reading for a while now, for the first time.
We got a bit of shooting time in before the heavens opened and it was more a leisurely stroll and a chat for me (as per usual on these things). I did get a couple of photos though. I’m up to my ears in processing for clients but I couldn’t resist doing just one from the day. This is one of the Boland’s Mill buildings in Ringsend. I’m ashamed to admit, I didn’t know the history until google told me that the rebels took refuge here during the 1916 Rising.

My last one from Dingle, so now I'll actually have to go out and take more photographs...

Wrapped up, patched up. A sail on a small boat resting near the slipway at the dock.
