Photographer, journalist, husband, father, besotted grandfather, Irish, used to be indecisive
but now I’m not sure. Trees, music, the visual arts, literature, blue skies, monochrome skies,
still aged 30 (in some mythical universe far, far away, where I also have a full head of jet black
hair), still making it all up. REM, Radiohead, Rory Gallagher (and they’re just the Rs), jazz,
modern architecture, jigs and reels, West Clare, Donegal, Achill, Kerry, the Blue Mountains in
New South Wales. Joyce, Steinbeck, McGahern, DeLillo, Richard Ford, Flann O’Brien, Woody
Allen when he was still funny, Gaudi, Gehry. I have been making original photographic images
for almost thirty years, initially as a personal creative outlet and for the past ten years
commercially.
