MUSIC ALBUM COVER COLLAGE

I had some spare time to kill so decided to make an album cover collage of my album covers from my iTunes library. I like mainly indie/alternative (think Pixies, Jesus and Mary Chain, Arcade Fire, Morrissey etc.) and dance/electronic music. The image contains over 920 album covers and I’m planning on framing it to hang up at home. If you’d like to try this yourself visit http://www.instructables.com where you;ll find step-by-step instructions on how to make your own iTunes album cover collage.

Autumn Leaves

In d. People & Animals,f. Nature & Sky by admin / November 1, 2013 / 0 Comments

Summer is well and truly gone and autumn is here.
Which is great fun for kids to play in the leaves. I went for a wander with Conor after a heavy downpour, he was wearing his waterproof pants so could splash as much as he wanted. As you can see he had great fun playing in the trees and in the autumn leaves

Autumn Leaves is a song title by the artist Eva Cassidy

Galway Blackrock Swim (Swimming)

In a. Galway,d. People & Animals by admin / November 12, 2012 / 0 Comments

This is Martin Burke, a hardy swimmer at the diving board at Blackrock, Salthill, Galway. He came out of the water and casually said “It’s lovely in there.” The Diving Board at Blackrock, Salthill is a very popular swimming and diving location with locals (and tourists in the summer). I’ve only been in there once and that was with a wetsuit on.

Swimming is a song title of a song by Florence and The Machine

Tell Me Now What’s A V.I.P. ( Enda Kenny )

In d. People & Animals by admin / May 17, 2012 / 0 Comments

The taoiseach of Ireland, Enda Kenny was in Galway to announce 200 new jobs for Merit Medical Systems.

I took some photographs of the new Merit Medical Systems building last year as it was being built, they can be found here and here.

I managed to get some photographs of him leaving the Merit Medical Systems building and entering his car. I only had a few seconds so shot in continuous drive. I didn’t get any proper portrait so decided to play around with what I had and came up with this collage.

Post title is taken from the song V.I.P, from the very enjoyable new album How About I Be Me (And You Be You).

Happy Sad

In d. People & Animals by admin / December 13, 2011 / 0 Comments

Conor is now 1 1/2 years old/young. Once he hears the word smile this is the face that he puts on. Very enthusiastic and funny but he hasn’t managed to smile and keep his eyes open at the same time yet. Note the toy cars that he’s clutching. He LOVES them, even goes to bed with them in his hands….

Blue Room (Galway Arts Festival Big Top)

In a. Galway by admin / July 18, 2011 / 1 Comment

Galway Arts Festival

The Galway Arts Festival is running at the moment. There’s a good range of entertainment at the Galway Arts Festival with the highlight (for me) being Misterman, an Enda Walsh one man play staring (Corkman) Cillian Murphy. The musical line up this year was uninspiring I though but I also heard that the budget has been reduced massively. (Two years ago Spiritualized supported Primal Scream!).

I made a collage but also added the photos individually as I think the motion effect is seen better in the larger photo.
If you’re visting Ireland during July it’s worth a trip to Galway for the Galway Arts Festival; the whole town is in party mode.

Blue Room is a song title from The Orb

The Birthday Party

It was Conor’s first birthday recently. As he’s only a toddler Emma and her cousin Grainne got to blow out the candles on his behalf. My wife made the lovely cake.

Stay Young (Baby Conor Collage)

In d. People & Animals by admin / February 28, 2011 / 2 Comments

A collage of baby Conor, now 11 months young. He was just after waking up so is still in his sleeping bag and has ‘morning hair’. He sat and looked around for a bit but then crawled over to try to eat my camera (center bottom picture). He’s at the age where EVERYTHING that he gets his little mitts on goes into his mouth.

Post title is the song title ‘Stay Young’ by Suede.

Tis The Season To Be Jolly Fa la la la la, la la la la

In b. Abstract/Arty by admin / December 25, 2010 / 0 Comments

I think collages are very simple to make but look impressive. You don’t need to have any great photos but they give a great overview of a story or the atmosphere of an event.
I think I might use this for any Christmas cards we (by we I mean my wife) send out this year.

Parklife (Galway Greyhound Track)

In a. Galway,d. People & Animals,h. Sport by admin / March 5, 2010 / 3 Comments

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)
