McAWilliams: 5 years on my 2 favorite girls
Thursday Twitter question time did happen, but I wont be posting it up until tomorrow, mainly due to the fact that tonight I celebrate my last day been married for 4 years, yep tomorrow I celebrate 5 years been married to Paula.
What an amazing 5 years we have had as a married couple, so much has happened in particular the addition to our family of my other favorite girl Rebecca.
So I found this photo of my 2 favorite women in my life and want to say thanks to Paula for putting up with me for so long and making me such a happy dude.
Will Knott: Overheard : Participating in photography
“There isn’t a ‘right’ way of participating in photography, but there are good reasons for encouraging young people to take it up, and to use it to articulate a vision, and not just record a scene. But there is everything to be said for experimentation and originality, and for the idea that art need not be for the elite; it can be everywhere.”
– Ferdinand von Prondzynski, President of Dublin City university on photography.
It’s not just for the elite. Words that ought to describe my photography. But I’m trying.
So I’m looking at leading a group around Cork on a photowalk of Cork City on Saturday, and the tlak of photographs and photography serves as a reminder.
Starting at 11am on Daunt Square, through the Cornmarket Street / Coal Quay market, across the new bridge and up those Cork steps (Widderings Lane) to St. Annes and the Shandon bells.
Then down (hill) Shandon street and along North and South Main street saying hello to the Cork Vision Centre and then Saint Finbarre’s Cathedral (and maybe Elizabeth Fort).
Then through the side streets to Douglas Street with a view of the Red Abbey and the graffiti paradise of South Parish.
Personally I want to see if its possible to gain access to The Elysium (the Japanese style gardens if not the buildings themsleves) and then work our way along the quays to end up back at Patrick’s Street (and hopefully a chance to sit down at last). Rumours of finishing at O’Conail’s chocolate shop will be greeted with thumbs up on my part.
I did try to work out the route on a Google map, but it seems it can’t handle walking directions through non-drivable streets and lanes.
So will I see you there?
