My friend Emily-Jean O’Beirn of Emily-Jean Designs asked me to cover the ‘Glamour at the G’ event for her again this year, and needless to say I was only too happy to give it another go. Well from the outset let me say it went a lot more smoothly than last year! I was running slightly late arriving, only leaving myself about 15 minutes set up time, but that turned out to be fine as the whole show was delayed by about an hour on the back of sound issues. I set up at the end of the ‘runway’, which worked out much better than my disastrous decision to set up halfway down last year. The atmosphere was really pleasant and I had a nice chat with the chap filming for TV3 and photographer Martina Regan who was also shooting the event. Martina was really nice, and we all made sure we set up in such a way as to not block anyone else.

Chicago and a love affair with a 50mm
I recently returned from a brilliant holiday in Chicago, visiting my girlfriend’s brother and his wife, they showed us an absolutely brilliant time, what a great city! Of course when we decided to go I had a dilemma, what would I bring to shoot with? I must admit that I didn’t know a huge amount about Chicago, except that it was famous for it’s architecture. What I did know, was that I was very much working on a size/weight budget, so I would have to be clever about what equipment I would bring. Obviously my d80 was coming with me but what lenses would I bring with it? I started out thinking about my Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8 which is my usual walkabout lens, so I popped it in my trusty Lowepro Slingshot 200AW, and popped that in my carry on. Problem: I had just about enough room to fit a pair of shoes left over. The Slingshot was full of air, and the carry on bag was full of the Slingshot.
Till The Road Rang
This weekend I attended the months mind of my best friend Danny Comerford. Danny was a writer from Kildare, we grew up together and had been best friends since we were about 10. Danny lost a long fight against cancer in July, I have never seen anyone handle so much, so gracefully and so strongly, he will remain forever more than my friend, he is an inspiration.
A Pleasant Surprise
Most months I enter the photography competition over at midwest photo exchange, I generally have a root around the hard disk for something that will fit the competition theme. This month was no different…
