Being pushed off my feet and inbetween squalls of rain and blown seawater I got out of the car and looked along the coast of Achill Island on Irelands west coast. Though not a particularly stormy day for December it was freezing without gloves. The salt in the air was refreshing and the act of taking a photograph though a little difficult was rewarding interaction with this most vibrant and exciting landscape. I love it. Taken in December 2006.

A new day, and a rising tide, reawaken this boat from its rest.

He dripped with sexuality when in a group. One on one, he was cold, rejecting and insulting. I ran his errands, swept up broken glass when he fell and listened to screams in the night from memories, dreams, imagined scenes or as he commonly called them, simply, “They.” / They were out there. They were coming. They were communicating from outer space through toilet paper tubes which he refused to throw away leading to an odd collection of plastic bags filled with empty toilet paper rolls. Filling closets. Stuffed under beds. Under counters. / If in some fit of cleaning frenzy I ever even thought of throwing them out I would stop myself before I got out the door. It was like throwing away another’s flag or religious icon even if I didn’t believe in its significance. / “Hold the Mayo,” he said to the waitress. He was behind broad, black sunglasses, a baseball cap pulled down low on smooth white skin and black, clinging clusters of hair. / Which I longed to touch. Which I longed to touch. Which I longed to touch. / I chuckled, knowing that he would soon call her back to revise his order. Again and again and again and then finally say “Forget it, I’m just drinking tonight.” / Always the same. / He said something charming. / I laughed. / He got louder. / People joined in the conversation. It became quit festive. Then a fight would start creeping into the conversation. I would overhear people saying things such as, “What’s he mean by that?” and “That’s not true.” I would pay and shuffle us out the door. / In the car he would be silent. / At home he would not speak. Conversation was inadequate, trivial and unnecessary. He knew what I was thinking. I could never fathom his thoughts in a million years. The walls were both a prison and a security blanket. / Because it was there that “They” would be able to find him. / It was also there that I lived. This abstract is acrylic on canvas 30”x60”

Featured in All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical 21st December, 2008. Moonlight in Mulranny. Mulranny is a small town in County Mayo on the west coast of Ireland. As with several Irish placenames, it has in recent years undergone a change in spelling reverting back to a former variation. It is now generally spellt Mallaranny, but can also be found as Mullranny and Malaranny. / The town sits on the coastline of Clew Bay. Clew Bay is said to have 365 islands (one for each day of the year). Some are inhabted by small populations and others are used for grazing sheep and cattle. / As can be seen in this shot, at low tide one could walk across the wet sands to the islands. Cattle can be seen wading through the shallows going back and foth from the mainland to the islands. / This is a shot of the view behind my Aunt’s house, taken one night on the way home from the pub. Camera always handy, I set it atop a gate post for stability, set the timer, etc., and it didn’t turn out too bad considering I was three sheets to the wind at the time.

FEATURED in First Things April ‘09 with thanks I found this wonderful old croft house on Achill Island (pronounced /ˈækəl/; Irish: Acaill, Oileán Acla) in County Mayo. This is the largest island of Ireland, and is situated off the west coast. It has a population of 2,700. Its area is 148 km² (57 mi²). It’s gorgeous. It is believed that at the end of the Neolithic Period (around 4000 BCE), Achill had a population of 500–1,000 people. Mostly forested until the Neolithic people began crop cultivation; settlement increased during the Iron Age, and the dispersal of small forts around the coast indicate the warlike nature of the times. Today the economy of the island is largely dependent on tourism; agriculture plays a small role and is only profitable because of European Union subsidies. As the island is mostly bog agriculture is limited largely to sheep farming. / Canon EOS 400D 18-55mm lens.

FEATURED in : / ‘The Woman Photographer’, April ‘09 / ‘Ireland’, April ‘09 / ‘Happy Haven Photography’, June ‘09 / With many thanks. Returning from my first ever vist to Keem Bay on Achill Island, County Mayo, Ireland; this herd of sheep ran to greet us, seemingly expecting food. This is the shot I took on the way back down the mountain as the light was fading and below is the one I took on the way up. We saw the farmer a little further on with bags of feed in front of his tractor on his way up so they weren’t to be disappointed. Very curious and brave they approached in roaring wind and it was all I could do to keep my camera arm still as it blew. Canon EOS 400D 18-55mm lens

In Cong, co. Mayo, Ireland sit the old ruins of Cong Abbey founded first in the 7th century, and refounded in 1135 after destruction. One of the remains is this little fishing cottage, built above the Cong River, that allowed the monks to sit inside, next to the fireplace, while fishing through a trapdoor

featured in the ALL ABOUT BOATING group October 22nd, 2009 As the storm was rolling in at Lough Mask, this little boat was lit beautifully by a small opening in the clouds. Lucky me for being at the right spot! Picture taken at Lough Mask, co. Mayo, Ireland PP: Contrast and a bit of burn and dodge.

At Finny, co. Mayo, Ireland, you get a wonderful view over Lough mask when you’re on top of the Kilbride mountains. It is one of my favourite spots, and in the weekends I spend many hours there, enjoying the tremendous beauty. Usually I sit alone on top of the mountain, only surrounded by wandering sheep and birds. This particular day was spectacular. Storm was rolling in, but the sun peeked through anyway, lighting up a small part of the lake. PP: contrast and colour levels, pseudo HDR

Featured in The Woman Photographer October 28th, 2009 / Featured in _# 1 ARTISTS OF REDBUBBLE _ October 29th, 2009 The Quiet Man Cottage in Cong, co. Mayo, Ireland / Cottage was used in the movie with John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara This day there was a gorgeous rainbow above the cottage, I took the shot from the river, in front of the fence. In PP I added a bit of texture, which I quite like, because it gives the image a painterly effect and a bit more vintage. The co. Mayo flag is hanging from the cottage. Also see / / For a different version of the same cottage And see / / For the bridge that was used in the movie
