Happy Christmas - With a Garland of Scallops. Yum!

Thank you for coming to visit the Scallop Garland Recipes. Scallops are  one of my favourite things to eat. And these recipes by Food Stylist Johan van der Merwe are exceedingly tasty. And easy to make. I hope you get a chance to enjoy them over the Christmas break. 

I wish you all the very best over Christmas and for the coming new year.

Bringing Home the Bread.

It is lovely to see an enterprise working like a finely tuned machine. I can admire the teamwork, the skill and dedication of all those involved in Coghlans Bakery. They produce breads and pastries for the Food Service sector. I have learned that each type of bread has a strictly adhered to recipe, every pinch added makes a big difference to the final bread so a huge skill base is involved in putting your bread roll and pastry on your plate. The bakers and the workforce here work with great precision and good humour. It is a lovely thing to see and experience.

Views from St Patricks Cathedral

Sometimes I am reminded as to what a privilege working as a photographer can be. One of the really great things is that you get to places most people would never get to see. I was working with the Iveagh Trust, celebrating 125 years since they were founded by Lord Iveagh of the Guinness dynasty. In an effort to match an angle from a photograph taken more than 100 years ago, when the Bull Alley complex of social housing was been built, we got access to the roof of St Patrick's Cathedral. The views were as spectacular as the weather. Because of the trees we had to go much higher than the original angle to get see Bull Ally and the remaining landmarks such as the steeple of Christ Church and the near by Synod and St Werburghs to the right of the photographs. Both the old and new photographs make up the centre spread of the Iveagh Trust 2015 Annual Report.

Elementary My Dear Watson

Wonderland Theatre Company, with the powerhouse of Alice Coghlan, have produced a new adaption of Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles. We had a very productive evening on the 'moors' recently. Having located a suitable location - both visually and logistically, we set about producing a series of portraits of the great sleuth Sherlock Holmes(Colm Kenny Vaughan) and his side kick Doctor Watson(Niall O'Brien). Shooting from dusk into night, using artificial lighting, made for an interesting shoot where both Holmes and Watson and the whole crew behaved impeccably. 
Look out for 'Dinner Theatre' and Wonderland's The Hounds of the Baskervilles for a lovely night out in Dublin.

Michie Sushi

I spent a day with the Michie Sushi crew in Sandyford. Michel Piare and partner Anna van Exel have made Michie Sushi one of Irelands top Sushi restaurants and a wonderful place to eat Japanese food and also order your favourite take aways. They have won a huge collection of awards for their sushi. Photographing the crew and the food was real fun. There is a lovely work atmosphere in the branch I worked in in Sandyford. Check out latest branch in IFSC. And how cool for a photographer that Michel has a near identical twin brother Mike working with him.  All I can say is lovely people and great food.

International Color Awards Nomination

These guys seem to like my work. It is the 3rd nomination in their portrait/people section I have been awarded over the last few years. With more than 5,600 entries from 78 countries, it not bad to get a nomination. The shot they chose was one from a series of portraits made in the Cast Art Foundry last year. Wish me luck!
