The Jedward Angel

Bishop Lucey Park in Cork City was the location of a wonderful display of angel statues. They were decorated in all sorts of ways and even had one dedicated to Jedward!

Adam had a great time running around them, and had loads of fun playing with another boy named Nathaniel. They went crazy chasing around and screaming as loud as they could at the pigeons who had an unexpected bout of exercise!

The Almond Croissant Diaries: DKNY #2

§ February 6th, 2010

037/365 The last time I took a shot like this, it was suggested that I take the reflective object on tour and get some more shots using it. So I decided tonight was the ideal opportunity.

The reflective object is actually the lid of a DKNY perfume bottle and today I acquired a bigger bottle (of the newly released frangrance no less!) which is infinitely easier to photograph than the tiny bottle I was using before! I love how it acts as a kind of fisheye. This is my bedroom at my Mums house.

Its Saturday, and this is a sign on Capel Street. “The Irish Firm” is painted below it. And the new shop below that, well it sells interesting toys for adults.

No idea if the pink neon rock is related to the current shop.

Hugh Chaloner Photography: self portrait in blue

§ February 6th, 2010


I’ve been lucky enough to experience a bit of growth in the photography area which is great. It has got me thinking more about lighting in general and strobism in particular, and the upshot of this thinking is that I’ve acquired a second strobe used in this picture above. It’s a Nikon SB-800 which complements my SB-600. The thinking behind this is that I could have enough power to light any person/small group of people in pretty much any location. I’m portable

I’ve also been talking a bit to the models and subjects of a lot of the stuff I’ve been doing recently and as an exercise, I’m imagining myself and imaging myself as they see me. When I’m on the job, this is what they see: a rather large white-haired guy poking a camera into their face, trying not to be intimidating. It’s fun, I’m enjoying myself and hopefully the subjects are too.
