A Fix of France
I was lucky enough to do a house-swap with an artist friend in Paris for a couple of weeks, giving me a much needed fix of France - got to see friends, some great art and just enjoy being in the greatest city in the world. I also got down to Arles to see the Rencontres photography Festival, always worth the trip.

Show and tell
I was delighted to be invited back to the Fumbally Exchange, where I worked for several years, to show and discuss two of my short films. They asked for a description of what I was planning to show, so I gave them ‘ a drama about a middle aged woman going out to try to get laid, and the other a kind of love poem to my favourite inspirational place.’
It was fun!

Read MoreMichael by me, me by Michael
Michael Snoek and his wife Dorothee have been family friends since I was a small boy. He was working as a geophysicist in Hamburg when I passed through as a teenage runaway, and he was kind enough to get me a life-changing job with the Max Planck Institut that took me off to live and work in Greece and Morocco as a geo-electrical surveyor. Some years later they moved to Ireland and Michael became very involved with photography and was one of the founders of the Kamera 8 gallery in Wexford. He’s just launched his fantastic new site, link here.
Much like myself, Michael is not half as stern as he sometimes seems in photographs.

I think I was about nine when Michael took this picture of me.
You can see more of my portraits of friends and family here.
