Some nice shots there, I like the second one. At first it looks normal then you look through the window. Its very true about the changing face of Dublin, personally I think we are a terrible country for wiping away the past where other countries cherish it and use it to teach the new generation what our national identity is. Well done Baz

gave it an acid sky in ps -- i have to hone my ps skills -- i think the psychedelic sky matches the old style industrial train .

Someone told me that Guinness are leaving James Gate now that would be sad

actually here another experiment

"Nuclear Dublin"


is it too much too much to stumock , especially from a ps sceptic :rolleyes:

still learning ps , so much to learn , but i like experimenting

Anyway heres one of my old Past time , boozing ...

when i used to drink , it was so uncivilised , and the Docklands was renowned for its early houses , and the odd dodgy deal (Jetfoil) -- took this tonight of a new pub in the new ever expanding financial district , near City Quay / Grand Canal Dock --- i just love the stares and the al fresco laptops

lovin this project barry,spent four very interesting years in architectural photography... was great to get into some old buildings for pre-con surveys before the wrecking ball swung... just one thing I'd say (it's the arch. photographer in me) - keep an eye on your verticals, do you have a short right leg???

Cheers minikin, i think its a dodgy eye , rather than dodgy leg , when i remember i use a level to try and balance/straighten out

i know , and the fact that its changinging is great for photography , but personally i think its changing too fast , a lot of the things that made Dublin unique , are being replaced by rather soul less modern architectue - like in any modern city - so the uniqueness is going -- but then change is good -- i don't recognise many parts of Dublin now from 5 years ago --


anyway anyone want to comment on this local chap on Talbot Street
