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.

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.

I am beginning to compile some images to use for a marketing push. I am beginning

to design a "Photo Workshop" that I would lead for aspiring photographers at the amateur level. The workshop would be offered as a learning experience in West Cork and Kerry. I would offer landscape/seascape event and also specifically a portrait

class. I have Ideas for some more sophisticated workshops involving other ares of photography as well. The image in this post is new-just created in the last week. I find it powerful and evocative. The subject is Sean Moriarity, an amateur photographer himself.
