Łukasz Jaworski

Last Saturday I attended the opening of an exhibition of work by the late Łukasz Jaworski. It’s well worth taking a moment browse his work, in particular his last set of images from March 2010.

The big squash on the Little Flower

This was the view on the boat to Ireland’s Eye last weekend during the latest Paul Freeney Photowalk. About thirty of us squashed onto the M.V Little Flower for the short trip to the island, luckily the sea was flat and no bodies or gear went overboard.

We had a great day exploring the island, being dive bombed by gulls and a good chat in one of the local bars at the end of the day.

 

Cranford

 

Cranford performed by Chapterhouse Theatre Company, Newbridge House, Co. Dublin, 8th July 2011.

 

Taming of the Shrew

The Taming of the Shrew performed by Chapterhouse theatre company at Ardgillan Castle, Balbriggan, Co. Dublin. July 1st 2011.

I’m not a theatre fan by any means but Chapterhouse put on a great show. They’ll be performing Cranford in Newbridge House next Friday, tickets are still available.

Martello Towers of Dublin

Martello Towers of Dublin is a joint public exhibition between Fingal and Dun Laoghaire/Rathdown County Council running until the end of August 2011. The display features 50 panels documenting the history of the 28 Dublin Towers from their construction in the early 19th century until today. Stretching from Balbriggan to Bray, Dublin's Martello Towers were built to defend the capital from French invasion in the early years of the 19th century, and the exhibition looks at why they were built, where the idea for the Towers came from, their military role, how they are being used today, and where other similar Towers are found across the globe.

I’ve been shooting this project on and off since 2003, some of the images have been exhibited in Dublin & Derby, UK. Someday when it’s finished I’ll make a book and an exhibition. I’ll be shooting and uploading more over the summer, but for the moment here it is…..

The man himself, St. Patrick.

St. Patrick leads the 2005 St. Patrick's Festival parade. Since it's establishment in 1995 the St. Patrick's Festival has become the biggest festival in Ireland. It takes place annually on or around St. Patrick's Day, the 17th of March. The highlight of the festival is the St. Patrick's Day Parade which winds it's way through the streets of Dublin on St. Patricks Day. (Derek Knight)

Have a great day all!
