Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Just a brief departure from my normal photographs in honour of our national holiday (and wine is another of my interests, apart from photography). The label is a humorous special version from Niepoort – they produce one from different countries each year, and now it’s Ireland’s turn. You can buy the actual wine in the Wicklow Wine Company, among other places.
Here’s the bottle of the wine to go with the label (different vintage, though) :
I won’t be opening it just yet, and will report back then ! However, I’ve never had a bad bottle of wine from Niepoort

My Photo Used in dlrtimes Magazine
Recently, the largest cruise line in the world – Queen Mary 2 – visited Dun Laoghaire. I posted some photos of this on my Facebook (personal) page – and one of them has now been used in the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Council magazine – dlrtimes.
Here’s my original photo :
In the images below, I’ve added some details from the magazine as well as two recent cameraphone photos taken in Bulloch Harbour, and nearby Coliemore Harbour.

You can view some photos taken by me on a portraiture workshop during the same trip here : Portraiture Workshop Photos

Food Photography – Terry Lyons – Masterchef Ireland 2012 Contestant
I recently had the opportunity to take photographs of some food prepared by Terry who has now reached the final of the RTE Masterchef Ireland competition. At the time of posting, I know he’s in the final – the last 3 remaining contestants – but I don’t know who actually wins. So, Good Luck Terry – and also good luck to Nicha and Tamarin. It’s a huge achievement to get this far. Hope they all manage to benefit from the experience.
(Update : Tamarin won ! – the other websites are Terry and Nicha-Twitter)

New Orleans – Street Sign photos
An alternative look at New Orleans via the huge variety of street signs and ads I photographed there. Everything from bar and venue signs, political statements to faded wall adverts. A vibrant, fascinating, musical amazing city. Big Irish connections as well – many of them on the gravestones !
