My daughter Heather, catching up on school work during the lockdown of spring 2020.
It’s been an odd time, staying close to home, only straying out for walks and swims and shopping when we really need stuff. Hope everyone is doing OK out there in the rest of the world.
I met Elvin today, at his workshop in Liscolman, between Coleraine and Ballycastle on the North Coast of Ireland. He’s been making pens from the barrels of Bushmills Whiskey, amongst other things. Guitars, kitchen cabinets, bowls…, not from barrels, though. He’s a maker of things.
And here’s one of the finished pens.

56 years today, since the crash at Munich airport that claimed the lives of 23 passengers. This is a file picture I shot back in 2007, of Manchester United legends, Harry Gregg and Albert Scanlon (who has since passed away), reflecting on a photograph taken during their 1958 5-4 win over Arsenal. The game was the last that the Manchester United side would play in England, before the February 6th air crash in Munich that claimed 23 lives, including 8 of their team mates.

My first post of 2014. Got sent along by Tourism Ireland to photograph former International Space Station commander, Canadian astronaut, Chris Hadfield yesterday. He’s in Ireland to promote tourism here, filming a series of three short films on local attractions and sporting culture. Hard to believe I used to watch and photograph him and the crew of the ISS flying through space, and here he is, standing in the rain, four feet from my lens. One of the few famous people I’ve met over the years, that I think really deserves to be famous.
Funny year for photos last year. Spent most of my spare time shooting video, and work was a little uninspiring. Here’s a few random photos from during the year! Best of luck for 2014 everyone, lets see where it takes us.
Coleraine celebrated 400 years of a royal charter this year. A big fireworks event was held along side the River Bann. I made this picture.. a little cruel perhaps..
