Another shot taken during the Happy Mediums recording session. Thanks again to Kenmc for the loan of his beautiful Nikon D70 which allowed me to try some new ideas and styles.

A change from my usual style, trying some black and white stuff and some new framing ideas. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Keep an eye on the lads website, www.mediumsite.com , for some new shots and indeed new tracks very soon.

Lots of new “toys” in the house this evening. The arrival of a brand new mixing desk and equipment for KilkennyMusic.com meant the Happy Medium could begin recording this evening giving me a chance to take some pictures of them which will appear on their own site www.mediumsite.com
That, plus a loan of a Nikon D70 off frontman Kenmc meant I could try my hand at some new ideas and styles.

I haven’t done much black and white photography before or even this style but quite enjoyed it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

The focus is very soft in this I know but I think it adds to the picture overall.

A promotional piece for Itchy Trigger Finger. Took this shot at our first promo shoot together. A spotlight on frontman Jimmy Trigger, I adjusted the levels and darkened the background. Then using the cloning tool in Photoshop,  I took the ITF face logo from Jimmys tattoo on his left arm and placed it on his hands.

Itchy Trigger Finger promo shot, taken underneath a soft blue light in Morrissons late bar, Kilkenny.

The lads are currently working on their cd, practicing in my house as I post this. A couple more promo shoots planned with them over the summer and a video aswell.

Another shot from sailing on the Shannon. Slightly adjusted the levels on this one.
Things keep going by so fast, the sun seems to be setting on quite a few things in my life at the moment. The end of one thing means the beginning of new things I suppose, but I’ll always remember golden sunsets.

Yoshimitsu, one of three “pets” myself and Daw keep in the house, catches himself something to chew on for the next few days.

Haven’t really done much plant photography or macro shoots yet, gonna get my hands on a new macro lens and see what happens.

Sometimes it hard to watch the sun set when you don’t want a day to end.

A concept I’ve had in my head for quite a while. I’d like to do a series of shots like this one. I’ve talked to several makeup artists about working on them with me.

A little adjustment to the levels and some colour modification on this one.

I’ve always loved the sequence shots in Skate magazines. This was a first attempt. Taken last summer with local skater Kev Keogh.

Done using the cloning tool in Photoshop. Probably would have been better from a side profile but I intend to do a few more of these.

At least 75% of the planet is covered by water, yet some “genius” came up with the idea of bottling it and making money!?

A little cut and paste job in Photoshop reveals what he thinks about people.
