Infra-red b/w from the dark ages

Well about 1993!

Back in the day when I had more time and the inclination I did a C&G these formed part of the final submission. Sadly many of my prints are badly discoloured or got at by 'blight' see rooftops for example.

These are the ones I like most, in decent nick.

1993. You young pup

I really like them. There's something even olderyish about them. I wish I wasn't so lazy. Film still has an enormous appeal.

I really like these a lot. Great shots with so much character in the print and the subject matter. Very nice

I think they are pretty cool too - the first one and the last one would be my favourites.

Some great photos there, the first and 3rd look amazing.

Love them. The first is obviously the favourite but there's something about the second, with the roofs, that takes you back in time - further back than 93, though!!! The grittiness and the tone is what I see as quintissential Dublin, too. Just don't go telling me now that they were taken in puerto-rico

They were taken in Cork the first is looking towards the centre from the south side where it rises, the second is from the roof of the Paul Street car park, the third is on the north quays near a rather impressive court house, the last is a Dolmen about 3 miles from Kilmeaden, Waterford.

The infra-red makes everything look mysterious & ancient, covered in a patina of spookiness
