    Thank you all who came around, I was amazed and surprised. You wouldn't believe that it was one good surprise in very long time for me. Thank you again.

    But sitting at home feeling sorry for myself with a cold!!

    Hope y'all had a great evening!!

    And I have just noticed thats my pic on the left (red flower) in the book in the 2nd photo!! Excellent!!!

    Great turnout. Obviously more than the 16 who said they would be there. Thanks to everybody who made it. It was a turn up for the books (ok bad pun).

    The book looks great. Well done to all involved.

    Here's one for the moment, I'll get some more up later.

    Ah no, it's just the eyes! ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,319 ✭✭✭sineadw


    Gah! I slept in!

    I just did a very quick convert to jpeg and levels of a load there. I'm uploading them to Flickr now but there's 200mb of them and I have a particularly crappy upload time. Should be done for 2 though :)

    I'm just going to whack them all up here as TBH I haven't a clue what makes a good shot for the papers... I went for the cute factor with Sean (and yes I'm slightly biased there ;) )


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,135 ✭✭✭✭John


    Didn't know this was happening. Looked like great fun!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,093 ✭✭✭TelePaul


    Well done all! Looked great!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,319 ✭✭✭sineadw


    God I hate flickr.. should have used pixie - backlinks are a pain in the arse to put in manually! Don't have time now, but they're all available full size on my flickr page..

    By the way, who took the photo with Sineads camera ?

    That would be my sis's almost father-in-law who was over from Sweden for the weekend and is also a photographer :) He'd heard about the book and thought he could come in and buy it. I'm just sending him the link now...

    Oh and my son's name is Seán :)

    Oh sweet jesus I feel sick just looking at that!

    How on EARTH did you manage to throw yourself off the platform?? Or get on the platform?? Or the roof for that matter!! Standing on a stool terrifies me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 289 ✭✭Dink


    Nope, but I was up there for an hour and a half taking pics, hanging over the edge of the balcony, before I finally got to descend!! I've never, ever, ever been so cold...

    Sinead, it was easy, I couldn't wait to get down!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 762 ✭✭✭Buzz Lightyear


    Absailing off the top of the D-Hotel in Drogheda, nice one. I'm sure you had great fun. Heights don't bother me, so you make me jealous :D

    Some great shots by the way
