Well, we’re back from Ireland. Had an awesome time, Cork was kind of how I remembered it from visiting as a kid, and it was great to see the family again. We also spent 6 nights in Kinsale, a wee little harbour town right on the coast. It was so nice to get away from the big city for a bit, and even better to get ultra fresh seafood, cooked straight of the boat. I’ll get some pics up as soon as I manage to take the films in to get processed.

Anyway, was out shooting around Deptford today, taking some more shots for my ‘Holy Ghost Zones’ series, and having a little explore of the industrial places around the river and the creek. Shot another few rolls of film to add to the pile to get developed. As I was walking around (in the amazing weather) this photo came to mind. I came across it a while ago, and love this photographer. Follow the link above for the full portfolio, and I recommend paying particular attention to the ‘Coney Island’ series (where the above image is from). Also check out the blog, for plenty of out-takes.

I don’t normally blog about things like furniture, but this Secret Stash table is quite cool. I’m also not one to hide stuff all over my house either, but it’s a pretty cool concept none the less.

On an off-topic note, the blog may be quiet for some time now, as I’m off to the Marxism Festival for a few days, then going over to Ireland for a short break with Suzi. I’ll get some pics up when I get back…
