The circus had pitched up in a field at Cashel, near Junction 8 on the motorway, with big top flying the flags of half a dozen nations.

I was taking photos of the circus when these two kids sped across the frame, probably headed to the shop at the nearby garage. I wonder if they went to the circus while it was there.

We passed through a few days later, and the tent was gone. Moving on to another town.

I was waiting on Henry Street and spotted the deep shadows cast by the buildings, so it occurred to me that silhouettes would become a good subject for a photo.

Luckily, a Deliveroo cyclist came along then and I captured him motionless as he rode past.

Getting a shot like this is half luck and half persistence. You have to wait until the incoming tide is about to retreat to take the photo.

This one was at Kilfarrasy Beach in Co. Waterford in 2017. Blarney Photography Club was visiting the area and this was on the itinerary for the the evening shoot.

It was a very dull evening, but we made the most of it.

IT Repairs on Oliver Plunkett Street hopefully had some bargains the day this man was peering carefully at their phones.

The tower of St. Anne’s Church has recently been renovated but this photo is from 2022, when it was still gritty. It looks all shiny now but I think it looked better back then. The clock faces all got a nice lick of paint though which is welcome!

I was surprised to see a news stand on O’Connell Street. It was just outside Eason’s too, where they sell newspapers and magazines as well.

What caught my eye first was the news stand, but then the man extending his arm with his phone to pay for his purchase. A new form of payment for an old form of news.

Dublin is great for street photography. So many opportunities for moments.

A tall yellow "jcproducts Coronavirus COVID-19 SANITISER STATION How to Prevent" stand holds a hand-sanitiser dispenser in the centre, red Cork GAA jerseys (one numbered 14) hang on the wall, and a man in jeans and white trainers sits on a red bench in the foreground.

Remember how impossible it was to get a hair cut during lockdown? Afterwards for some time the barber or hair dresser would have to wear a mask while grooming your hair. This was in February 2022, when we were still paranoid about COVID-19.

He wears a flat cap, dark-rimmed glasses, an open leather jacket over a dark top, and pale trousers, with one hand in his pocket. A weathered metal plaque is mounted on the wall above his shoulder, its text too faded to read.

Mask pulled down to the chin, cigarette on the go is the small, very 2022 contradiction I couldn’t resist framing.

She wears a fawn knitted cardigan over a white top. Three black ashtrays and a discarded cigarette filter sit on the round cream table. A man in a black T-shirt sits at the left, and a large café window behind reflects a cloudy street of period buildings while showing the interior shelves of a Starbucks store.

A young woman blew the smoke from a vape into the air as I walked past.

A single weather-beaten log, marooned on the foreshore. It was nudged back and forth by the waves coming in and out but in the moment this photo was taken, the sky was reflected in wet sand and the log was beached. Safe from the incoming waters.
