Glasseyalley: Walls of Hell
Well, not quite. The very well built and freakishly well maintained walls of Dun Aonghusa fort on Inishmore island. Definitely worth the walk up the hill to see it!

McAWilliams: Rebecca at pace
Tonight I did the hardest thing ever and left the group blog I have been writing on since its conception in June last year. The guys at forninepounds have been such a fantastic bunch to get to know and I will, I promise keep in touch with every single one of you.
To cheer me up I went and found a photo I had feck all processing to do on, cause I really was not in the mood to spend long fixing images, and I love how this turned out all grungy and dark yet with youth and fun mixed in aswell.
inphotos.org: Tour of Ireland blur past
Not the best image I’ll admit, but to the naked eye these guys were just a blur they were going to fast. I think this was shot while I was quickly zooming out after shooting them coming down the road.

Will Knott: I fought the legal forms, and the legal forms won
I had been looking forward to placing a call for photographers on the blog now and directing people to the PinkForOctoberIreland.org site to register as models and photographers.
But that is not to be. Instead, I’m afraid to say that there will not be a Pink portraits day on September 20th in Daunt Square, Cork.
If I was to do go back in time to prepare the Pink idea again, I’d have to go back to June. Then I would…
- Start the call for photographers.
- Get then to register.
- Explain that they need to register full contact details so that Gardai and City Council required
- health and safety
- traffic management plans
- pedestrian management plans
- first aid appointees
- public liability insurance etc are in place.
Also the Garda contact mentioned that mobile numbers (or at least contact numbers) of all the “staff” are required
- Also the HSA have legal requirements for event with more than 3 staff
So that seems to be that.
I would like to have a photo-walk in its place. A meeting of photographers and photo-bloggers to wander around Cork City with their lenses out on a busy Saturday. How does 11am in Daunt Square sound as a meeting point? If you want to contact me, my details are in the about page.
Sorry to disappoint those who registerd on the (admittedly half built) PinkForOctoberIreland.org site, but if you’re interested in doing something; I’m planning on turning the pinkforoctoberireland site in to a blog aggregater for this year (should be up soon), and make plans for the photography next year.
If you want to blog, comment etc as part of Pink For October, register with the international PinkForOctober.org site. And when I have the aggregater up, register and tag your posts with “p4o”.
If you want to do more, bring pink objects to donate to the ICS shop just off Daunt Square when you are coming on the photowalk. Should make us easy to spot.
And as for next year. I’ll take all the help I can get
Care to join me?

Donal: Blackwater Triathlon 2008
The Blackwater Triathlon Club held their first triathlon last Sunday in Fermoy. Having done one triathlon at the start of the summer, we had pencilled in this as the next event. I only managed a relay event this time as I couldn’t do the run but I’m glad I did that much. Like the last one, the sun just managed to come out for the race which made it a bit more enjoyable, if enjoyment can be gleaned from something like this! Thanks to Dan for being official photographer until I finished with the swim and cycle.
I did have a few qualms about the triathlon. The swim part seemed much shorter than 750m. I know we had a strong current but that couldn’t account for the mostly sub 10 minute times being posted. Due to safety restrictions the transition area was across the bridge from where we got out of the water which meant a bit of a jog after the swim. This wasn’t too bad but I thought the transition down from the church after the bike was a bit on the long side. I was well knackered at that stage. Again, this was necessary for safety reasons but you’re not thinking about that when you’ve finished your 20km. At least I knew I was finishing at that point.
Also, my anti-fog anti-leak goggles fogged up and leaked very early on which made it difficult to distinguish between the yellow swim caps and the big yellow buoy. Please change the colour of one of these for next year!
Some people at the finishing line after the jump: check out the full set of photos for a lot more.
