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

Ragman has put together some journals covering some basics of doing it right when it comes to art/photography. Here are some of the excerpts from his up-coming book. Very worthwhile reading, for everyone, IMHO! I’ll add this to my list of handy tips and tricks, so it’s easy to find from my profile page.

TWO HUNDRED VIEWS ~ THANK YOU 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.

OVER ONE HUNDRED VIEWS ~ THANK YOU Tranquility Loughgall / County Armagh / Northern Ireland In the orchard county of Armagh I have just discovered Loughgall Country Park and it is a rural haven of relaxation and recreation. A diverse spectrum of activities ranging from golf to walking, fishing to tennis make this spacious complex a mecca for families, sports enthusiasts and those merely in search of a helping of tranquility. For me one of those special places to take a dog and your camera. There abouty sixty fishermen’s perches all offering differing photo opportunities and differing views of the lough.
