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.

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.

Yesterday I spent the day photographing old water pumps. It will be a part of a publication devoted to the historical significance of water pumps in Ireland's communal life. It's one of the most interesting commissions I've received due to its nature and use of my preferred photographic techniques
