Turns out a combination of not using That Other Site and the economic landscape at the moment in general does, in fact, makes fulfilling the whole "starving artist" stereotype a whole lot more achievable 😅
First year selling my art at Christmas without the Other site, where most of my sales came from, as well as losing US orders to new tariffs, so it'll be a tough one - I put huge work into every order, so even if you can't buy, shares help get them in front of eyes. GRMA! www.ciaraioch.com/artprints

This just came up on my Google photos memories. It was that time I was on a train in Germany and I used Google translate to eavesdrop on the conversation the people in the seat opposite me were having.

On our way back from Sligo today, we stopped briefly at Enniscrone to look at the ocean. I took a picture with my phone. This moment, this moment has never existed before, and will never exist again. #photography #Ireland

#latelatetoyshow So, we have a small Indian boy doing Irish dancing on the show. This is awesome and beautiful. It shows how all our cultures can be shared, appreciated and still thrive.

My sister & I, decades ago, standing on the cusp of everything. My hair was bigger, my skin was clearer. Our future were filled with hope & plans. Not knowing what we’d carry forward or leave behind. The world stretched before us, blank canvas, stories already forming, waiting for us to write them.

Friday morning serendipity: bumped into @aidanhynes-1.bsky.social at The Creel. Window seat, rain streaking the glass, sideways glances at passersby. Conversation drifted through music, photography, and nostalgia for social media’s past. Yet the truest connection was right there in the moment.

I'm using a Mac for 20+ years and today I finally built my very first Quick Action in Automator and assigned it to the Services menu. Spent decades wondering what they were for. Turns out I’ve been missing a gem all along! Any other suggestion for the Automator app are very welcome. #mac #apple

I’ve written about my mum’s journey with dementia. It’s about memory, language, and the empty spaces that remain when words slip away. I hope it resonates with others walking similar paths.

First time having coffee in The Foxford Woolen Mills. I'm waiting for the fog to lift so I can get a nice aerial shot of a property. Can someone get the weather gods to facilitate please. Nice ambience, lovely decor and most importantly, great coffee. To quote Arnie, I'll be back.

Working, on a Sunday, and in a church. Stranger things have happened, I guess.

Leaving the hospital after visiting someone, there’s a constant audio loop: “Smoking is prohibited on hospital grounds.” Signs everywhere say the same. Yet there’s always a couple of feckers puffing away at the door. Back when I smoked, that alone would’ve shamed me into walking down the street 😃🚭

I still have Twitter on my phone, though I rarely post there these days. Opened it this morning, scrolled for a minute, and instantly remembered why I stopped. Just a relentless stream of noise, hate bad vibes. Irrelevant picture of a crow taken thru the coffee shop window a few days ago.

🎧 The coffeeshop knows I’ve got work to do, but the playlist says otherwise. So far, they have played Pearl Jam, Massive Attack, Portishead and Radiohead in the background music. The playlist knows I’m not ready to face the day. 😃☕☕

October morn. While I, and the rest of the people in the coffeeshop were scrolling the sun came out. Message learned.
