Just a quick note. If anyone needs a last minute gift - photographic print is a nice idea ;)
I believe it is too late to ship it further than Ireland or EU.
Each of them still needs to be printed though ...
Here is the link to my online store with a few photographs:

A black and white image of an old building in the distance with a dimly visible stream in the foreground. The image is very soft and dreamy.

[1/4] Hi Everyone, I have a question for those of you with experience in self-publishing photo books. I’m looking for an alternative to Blurb — something in a similar price range, but maybe with better print quality and good customer service in case of any issues. Preferably in EU.

A few months ago, I decided to revisit a project I began to work on last year.
I created more than 80 photographs, though only a selection of them will become part of the final series.

It’s great to be back in the darkroom, leading workshops at NCAD again this year. There’s something grounding about the smell of photographic paper and chemistry — a welcome change from everyday work.

A portrait of my daughter from my September is the Cruellest Month series.
A black and white photograph of a girl standing on the beach and looking out to the sea. The girl is wearing a skirt and wellies and is clasping her hands together. Taken on a 4x5 large format camera and using instant film.

Last Friday, after a long break, I returned to the forest to continue working on a project I started a year ago—'Before the Leaves Fall.' It's no secret that early autumn is the most beautiful time of the year.
