Create Dont Contaminate


Hey everyone, so during the week I was looking over some of my older blog posts. And I remembered that it was in late 2018, the last time I uploaded anything, here to my Blogger account. I use to regularly post blogs about what I was up to at the time. To be honest I kinda lost interest with my account. I still post often to my social media accounts, Facebook Photography Page, Twitter & Instagram, been my main outlets, where I share mainly my photography, and other things I find interesting. At times I can and do feel overwhelmed by all of my social media accounts. And I sometimes pressure myself to constantly keep them relevant and updated. But with whats going on in the world, in regards to Covid-19, I think now its more important to keep connected, with friends and family, post photos for people who cant leave the house, and just keep occupied for your mental and physical health. 












May it be reading a new book, finishing that project you've been meaning to, or learning a new hobby or skill. We are resilient people, but were also very social creatures. Faced with the Covid-19, can we stay connected at a distance? Of course we can, and we are with technology like never before. Towns and cities are deserted, gatherings from sporting events to music concerts have been cancelled. And  most people are staying 2 metres apart from each other. It wont last forever, hopefully things can get back to normality sooner rather than later. But for many, including myself it forces a change of routine that feels unnatural and uncomfortable, which can and will bring on a sense of anxiety. 



Been a creative person my photography has been an avenue to express my feelings and emotions at the time. We're all creative people in one way or another. Many just haven't found what that is just yet.











Below is a small selection of some photos I created, over the past few weeks. I think people can relate to them, and felt the same at some stage. 





Get moving
  Get connecting
Get thinking

Abandoned Places Photography

I love to explore many old and abandoned houses, and buildings, here in Ireland. To go into the dark of these abandoned places, hoping to uncover their secrets. Among the cobwebs and peeling paint that, I search for objects forgotten by time.  My aim is to show these places among the dust, and show it's beauty, a beauty to some, especially me.  By visiting these places, and photographing them, i hope to preserve the last breath of mystery and nostalgia that surrounds them. Many would think twice before stepping foot into these sometimes eerie, crumbling buildings, to me they have a subtle allure. I don't know why i have such a love with these places. I’ve been trying to visit as many abandoned places as possible. There is something enticing about abandoned places. You can feel the past in such places, they have a peculiar smell, a parti...

Summer Months

Hey guys, I was reading some of my past blog posts, and I just realized it's been over 3 months since I last posted one. Summer has come and gone so quickly, too quick in fact. To be honest we did get 2/3 weeks of amazing sunshine, so I'm not complaining. So much happened over the past couple of months. As always I've been super busy with my trusty Nikon camera. I took so many new photos, and recorded some new video footage also. In May I finished my Multimedia & Web Development course at  Cavan Institute . It was an amazing 2 years, and to my surprise I received a full 9 distinctions on all my modules, which I was extremely happy with. Onto the next chapter, which in the new year, I'm hoping to start a part time film & Television course in Dublin city...... excited.  I purchased a new Sigma 70-210 macro lens way back at the start of the year also, but I only properly had the chance to test it out during the summer. I'm not gonna lie, macro is somet...

Cuilcagh Mountain Park

Back in April of this year I visited the stunning  Cuilcagh Mountain Park, which is situated in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.   The weather changes very quickly, but thankfully the day we visited it was quite overcast, but the rain stayed off for our visit. But make sure to bring rain gear just in case.  The trail starts off with a stony path followed by a board walk and then steps in the final stretch the views along the way are amazing. It is extraordinary to walk up a staircase which is built scaling the side of a mountain.  One would need to be reasonably fit & not have any disability as the terrain is challenging enough & coming down needs care.  The first part of the walk was along 3.5 km of gravel path then to the boardwalk which took us about 45 minutes in all to reach the top.  It is a wonderful place to go for a w...
