:Galway



Like the earlier post entitled :Cork this short series of images were made during a specific trip in Ireland; the photographs were taken of people encountered on the street or in areas of interest. It is only when the shutter clicks that my mind stops racing about everything.

I am always drawn back to a passage in Chris Marker's Sans Soleil (1983) when photographing cities in Ireland: "I've been around the world a dozen times and now only banality interests me. On this trip I've pursued it with the relentlessness of a bounty hunter". So, the grand compositions and landmarks are not for my questing kino-eye; rather, I collect the frozen fragments of the everyday.
