  • Personally this is one of my favourites; as it reminds me of a boys journey through life and the steps he has to learn to climb. Everytime I look at it, the boy reminds me much of myself and the steps and the journeys that I have taken in life; the places I’ve gone, the people I’ve met, and all the adventures and affairs. Now I feel ‘Just a few more steps, and I’ll be home’ Sintra / Portugal Nikon F3 20mm lens original B/W neg scanned thru NikonScan OVER ONE HUNDRED VIEWS ~ THANK YOU*

  • FOUR HUNDRED VIEWS ~ THANK YOU / FEATURED ON REDBUBBLE HOME PAGE From the Third Man to the Ragman / The Third Man film celebrates it’s 60th anniversary this year (1949 ~ 2009) Orson Welles in post-war Vienna Carol Reed director of The Third Man, I will always associate as the male director with a female name directing the leading character Holly Martins another strong impressive male with a female name. However what legacy is left with me is his dramatic lighting and film sets, which gave introduce the monochrome’s twin towers ~ light and shade, and shape and form in combination and fusion for intensity and impact, something which is not lost on my own work.

  • Plunkett’s Passage, Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin, Ireland Joseph Plunkett, a descendant of Oliver Plunkett, was born in Dublin and educated at Belvedere College, Stonyhurst and University College, Dublin. After graduation Plunkett toured Italy and Egypt before becoming a journalist in Dublin where, in 1911, he co-founded The Irish Review with Thomas MacDonagh, Padraig Colum and David Houston. In the same year Plunkett joined the Irish Volunteers and published a collection of poems The Circle and The Sword. In 1914 Plunkett, Edward Martyn and Thomas McDonagh founded the Irish Theatre for the production of ‘Irish plays’ in opposition to the pseudo-peasant plays produced by the Abbey Theatre. In 1915 Plunkett, Director of IRB operations, went to Berlin with Roger Casement to procure armaments for the 1916 Rising. Later that year he travelled to America to report to Clan na Gael who had funded the purchase of armaments. Plunkett was a Signatory of the 1916 Proclamation of the Irish Republic and carried a sword belonging to Robert Emmet into the GPO where he fought until the surrender. Plunkett was imprisoned in Kilmainham Gaol where he married Grace Gifford on the eve of his execution on May 4th, 1916. This scene is his last walk ~ along a passage to his execution Nikon D200 20mm lens
