Photos by Ashley Loftus.

Thanks so much to everyone who helped us out in the lead up to and during the exhibition, in particular: Grace, Ben, Colin, Miriam, Dorje, Pat, Jerry, Billie, Mella, David, Kate, Tansy, Ashley, Paul, Ciara and the rest of the PhotoIreland volunteers, Angel and Claudi, Nick and all the crew in Block T. Thanks to Becks for providing the beer, and finally - thanks to everyone who came along! It was a great night!

It was a pleasure and a privilege to show my work alongside Shane's. You can see some of his amazing work here.

Congratulations to Patrick Hough and Niall O'Brien who also had openings in Block T on the night, as well as Mella Travers whose exhibition 'Liquidity' was already underway in the upstairs gallery. All three exhibitions were first class.


EDIT:

Niamh Ní Shúilleabháin of Irish language radio station Raidió na Life was in Block T on the night with her microphone at the ready. She recorded an interview with me which was broadcast in the greater Dublin area. You can listen to it here - my interview is about 10 minutes into the show.

Take Another Left

This year's PhotoIreland Festival is shaping up to be something really special, so it gives me even greater pleasure to announce that I will be exhibiting alongside the extremely talented Shane Connaughton as part of the programme (Shane has just been featured in the latest issue of Viewfinder magazine. Check it out here).

'Take Another Left' opens in Block T on the 7th of July. More details can be found here (feel free to click the 'like' button on the event page to put us in with a chance of winning the 'people's choice' award this year!).

Have a look at the festival programme, it's absolutely jam-packed with exciting events, lectures and exhibitions. I'm particularly looking forward to the talks by Martin Parr, Markus Schaden and Bruno Ceschel (of Self-Publish, Be Happy).

A lot of credit has to go to Angel Luis Gonzalez, the creator and director of the festival, for curating such an inclusive and well-rounded event. Roll on July!
