Kid A (Mini me)
Baby Conor, 6 months old.
* I have to explain that the picture title is the title from a song by The Smiths and no bad intentions on the kids.
I think I had more potential song titles for this photo than any other.
Broken Down In Broken Town
1/2 Way Between The Gutter And The Star
Everything’s Alright When You’re Down
Where Did You Sleep
If I see you tomorrow on some street in town
Pardon me if I don’t say hello I belong to another,
it wouldn’t look so good
To know someone I’m not suppose to know
Just walk on by
* I have to explain that the picture title is the title from a song by The Smiths and that I’m not insulting the girl.
Baby Conor, 13 weeks young
Post title is taken from the song title Protect Me You by Sonic Youth.
* this is a song title and (obviously) I don’t wish my daughter an unhappy birthday
No pain, no gain

I was at the Galway Greyhound track last night. It”s very hard to get a good shot of the dogs (they”re so quick and I didn’t have a fast zoom lens). These are my best shots from the evening. I’ll go back again once I have an (expensive) fast zoom (70-200 f2.8 hopefully)
John, my dad (I always called my parents by their names) passed away 10 years ago today.
This is a photo taken on his honeymoon with my mum, Ute in Egypt. I’ve always liked photogrpahy, must have gotten the bug from my dad. I remember one birthday many moons ago he gave me an slr as a present but all I saw was a big, clunky camera. So I was disappointed and would have preferred an easy-to-use compact. Looking back now I realise that he had my best interests at heart and probably wanted to teach photography to me instead of me just snapping away with a compact. I wish I could thank him now but can’t so instead I think fondly of him when I’m taking pictures.
A tourist in Galway city enjoying a leisurely afternoon sitting outside a pub. Galway has a nice laid back, relaxed vibe to it. It’s not a large city (more like a big town) but it’s a place I love.

German riot police at the anti G20 demonstrations in Berlin. I asked them if I could take their picture just to be on the safe side
*The photo title is a song title and not my feelings towards the police.
Smile, soon you'll be demolised and turned into apartments
This photo title is the title from a song and doesn’t imply that I think my daughter is a bad photographer.
