A walk to the clouds.

I walked to the clouds today.

I've done this before but today was different.

I won''t take this walk many more times as I am

leaving this place.

We are leaving this place. Something

of us is staying behind, I know.

I feel that what that is, will be here for a long time.

It's in the water, the rocks, the ferns and moss.

The pub,the lane, the house and the village.

We are leaving.

Will we be gone, I think, yes we will.

Will ye miss us? Yes I think. I know.

Will we be in the wind, the sun, the grass, the turf.

I believe ,

We will.

In the bay, the wave, the day.

Will we be with you in the way,

The way we want to be ?

I know, That

I will be with you in the way that I can.

This I want,

To stay in this place, Ireland.

I stay.

The photographer as a young man. Navy flier 2nd class E J Carr. Cam Ranh Bay

South Viet Nam 1970.

As I was driving along the bay today on the way home from a small

shopping trip, the light was just beautiful. Not warm , or cool in anyway but

soft. Soft is used in conversation to qualify many things. The rain, the wind, and

I choose it to define the light. These images are a study, and maybe a new collection.

I couldn't resist the mixture of aqua, turquoise and greens.

This is the cover of a book using an image of mine created in Cornwall, England.
We were on a holiday for a spring break, staying in a 200 yr. old miners cottage in
Lower Boscaswell, on the north side of the Cornwall peninsula. The light for this
photograph comes from the only window in the cottage (facing away from the sea, on
the south side of the cottage). This book is published by NYU and the title is
self explanatory.

No Salmon Farm in Dunmanus Bay, co. Cork, Ireland.

At this time there exists a threat to the beauty and wild character of Dunmanus Bay in Co. Cork, Ireland. A commercial concern is proposing a Salmon Farm to be placed in the midst of one of the most beautiful and pristine locations in the southwest of Ireland. The pollution from the Farming alone is atrocious let alone the disturbing visual results of such a project. This video is created to help support the local population in moving against this ecological and tourism disaster.
