Ireland and LA, eh? Interesting mix! I'm Ireland and Czech Republic right now.. soon to be just Ireland again. Good craic! Great gallery! :)

Yes - the best of both worlds, going back to LA for a few months in January. :-) Nice that you're coming to Ireland, just a visit or permanent?

Abandon Ireland when it's all wet and dark eh! Haha, fair play to you! Well I'm Irish, like I grew up there but a few months back I took the notion to buy a one way ticket with my whistle and some friends with their respective instruments and adventure around Europe some more... Worked out great! :) I think I'll appreciate it more when I go back.. I guess I'm just one of those people that get bored easily!

Ah, that must have been great craic alright. So you're a trad head then? :-) Play a bit of the box myself but only for a laugh, not in a band.

And you're right - it's always important to have diversity...

Ah, a bit, mostly a metal head I guess ha. And now there's some great folk metal out there so it worked out! We busked inbetween going to loads of metal festivals and drove around in a big van. I love a lot of trad like Planxty and the Bothy Band but I'm not a fan of those sessions where it's the exact same all the time. Some of it has lots its soul. The younger sessions have a lot more energy and life. I think it's great to keep it alive though. :)

I love your photos and I admire how you stay away from photoshop as much as possible. When I took film photography in high school, we basically shunned every photo that was photoshoped. And how you still use film instead of digital puts more skill into it in my opinion. I cant wait to see what else you make :)

Thanks very much, I'm honoured. Nothing wrong with digital photography at all... I use digital cameras a lot too, film is just a lot more fun! :-)
