Donal welding – one from a set I did for a website a few weeks back.

This chap can only be described as a character. I’ve known him for a long time now. He recently got in touch and asked me if I would mind taking a few shots for him playing his guitar “for a laugh, like”. For something that was only supposed to be for a laugh, I have to say there was a lot of undirected (natural) shaping going on!! 🙂 Although I do reckon he’d make a great model – if only for his ability to follow direction (oh, and his rugged good looks).

It was a miserable bloody day – stormy is the only way to describe it. We ended up spending a few hours out in the rain around Adare getting the shots, I have to say, it was nothing short of hilarious. I’ll be posting a few non-50mm photos from this set over the next few weeks.

Alas, I won’t see the lad for a while now as he is moving abroad. Fitz, best of luck with your new career working as a Musical Weatherman on Dutch national TV!! 😛

An old ZV reg Landrover parked up at Moll’s Gap between Killarney and Kenmare. An unusual location to try and sell a vehicle, but kind of fitting given the machine that it is at the same time!

Gary, my travel companion for the trip over to see Northampton v Munster back in January. He was kind enough to sit still (just about) for a few seconds to have his photo taken!

The second shot in my 50@50 project. Back in December, Gary and I decided that we would go to an away Munster match – the last one we were at was back in 2008. We decided Northampton v Munster in January or this year would be a handy one to get to, so I set about to buying match tickets, car rental and flights – all without breaking the bank.

The match itself was super – Munster’s best performance of the season so far! Of all the matches we could’ve gone to, this  one was fantastic. And the Northampton supporters were absolutely super. A very enjoyable trip all round.

Thanks to Gary for coming along and thanks to the Dervish family for putting us up!
