  • Why Photography Matters

    A few thoughts after a difficult week.
  • What I Learned at Flickr

    A quick recap of my visit to see the lovely people at Flickr in March of this year. This continues the theme of articles I should have written months ago, but didn't. Short version: Flickr loves you and your photos - for keeps.
  • Anticipation

    We've been growing some vegetables in the garden.
  • Taking a Photograph

    I have been taking a lot of photos lately, and wanted to quickly jot down some thoughts on what I think is important to think about when I take a photo. You might find this useful, who knows.
  • Picturing New York

    Picturing New York, a selection of MOMA's most iconic images of New York, closed today at the Irish Museum of Modern Art. I got in just in time; and it was fantastic.
  • Coming Soon…The Past

    In the last year I've taken some time to scan and catalogue hundreds of family photos. A fun, interesting, eye-opening, painful, happy, laborious exercise.
  • Snowing in Belfast

    The buses aren't exactly running on time these days; these ladies are giving up.

  • @vonprond Street photography can sometimes lead to candid situations and photographs, but street photography is not = candid photography.

  • @vonprond I understand, but candid photography requires engagement between photographer and an indifferent, open, honest subject.

  • @vonprond Not too picky; just something challenging. Studio or outdoor. Gallery of Photography seem to offer courses. Any recommendations?
