Could I be burried here?
Nested in the mountains of Galicia, the parish of Loña Del Monte hides itself neatly from the road. This small agricultural village is located 30 km outside of the city of Orense. Its population balloons in late summer as its diaspora returns from across the world to celebrate the festival of the Virgin, only to…

The moment between before and after.
It has been nice over the past few days to revisit a project from the first year of the MFA in Photography I was lucky to complete a few years ago, during my time at Belfast School of Art. Lentamente el Camino Me Mata or Slowly the Way Kills Me is the product of a deep…

For some reason I keep seeing ads for the Remarkable tablet. While that appeals to my inner consumer geek, the price is equivalent to about twenty premium leather bound notebooks and a lifetime supply of pens. From the palm pilot on there has be great promises of inner peace and the zen of organization. All…

While we were in the woods to photograph Genaro’s tree another one was tugging on my sleeve, seeking attention, though apparently invisible to my present company who were deep in discussion about times gone past. From my vantage point this new tree was obscured, though its branches stretched overhead, longer and more angular than those of…

Artists like Jo Spence have utilized photography as a therapeutic tool, confronting personal and historical traumas, thereby transforming memory and narrative into healing processes. Research by Judy Weiser and others has further established a framework within art therapies…

The Leprachaun
The thought of artistic inheritance goes way back in our family. My great-grandfather Thomas Fitzpatrick ran and illustrated a publication called “The Lepracaun Cartoon Monthly”. For the publication of the book “Thomas Fitzpatrick and ‘The Lepracaun Cartoon Monthly’, 1905–1915” the authors asked Dad and I to get involved. For this, Dad wrote the introduction and…

Plan
Original Post from 2011 When working with new teams it should be assumed that participants have little or no experience with project management and task delegation within a team environment. A brief introduction to agile and scrum systems is beneficial. Each of the new teams takes time to familiarise themselves with their final concept and the…

Playing with some HP5 and Tri‑X
Over the past few months I’ve been using film again, after about fifteen years of being solely digital in most of my image making. A few months ago I was reunited with the Nikon FM that I learned on and caught the film bug again. That said, I was never much of a fan of…

Enjoying Film.
It was a cold wet January in Ourense, Spain, but it was still absolutely beautiful. It never seems to get that cold but boy did it rain. And rain. And rain. Nonstop for days. Wandering around the town with an umbrella was nice. The rain was warm, the mood was good and the atmosphere in…

Orense, Spain
Heading home After a much needed break from work and life back at home it was time to go home. While giving Estrella some time to say Adios to her Familia, I took another opportunity to wander around the train station and get a few more pix. Just back from a few amazing days in Orense,…

Kids & the Sigma 50mm F/1.4 DG HSM EX lens
Seven. For me this is about the time you want to let your kids know that they have complete control over how they look in photos. They can always feel awkward, shy, uncomfortable, But they can make it look they way they want. Confidence is an illusion. On another point purely technical and photographic. I…
