I’m very happy to be participating in The Darkroom’s launch and fundraiser event on Thursday 28th of June (6.30-10.30 pm) at The Darkroom, 32 Brunswick Street North, Dublin 7. I’m donating two colour digital prints (unmounted) and two handmade black and white darkroom prints (mounted) which will be for sale at an exhibition featuring donations by established and emerging Visual Artists. The image above, which features street art by Solus, is one of the prints I’ve donated. Hope you can make it to this event in which you’ll be able to find out about The Darkroom’s new website and Membership System, Residencies program, David James Carey Award, full range of Courses and opportunities, and also taste some of the finest Irish whiskey, kindly donated by Jameson Distillery!

I’m very happy to be taking part in the Harold’s Cross Festival this year with a photography exhibition in the Five Points Cafe in Harold’s Cross entitled ‘Dreams of the Grand Canal’. On exhibit also are photographs taken by some of the participants at the photowalk I led last year along the Canal for the Festival. The exhibition will be on display until the end of the Festival on Sunday 20th of May. That morning I will lead a photowalk starting from the pond at Mount Argus Park at 11.30am. All ages, levels and types of cameras are welcome and there will be an exhibition of the participants’ images at next year’s Festival. Hope to see you on the 20th!

Really looking forward to participating in the Harold’s Cross Festival this year with a photowalk and exhibition.
