Lockdown in Ireland has included the restriction of not travel >5 kilometres unless you have some essential reason for travel.My time in working Ireland presents no shortage of photographic opportunities but behaving with the lockdown and working in that 5km is a challenge. Towns in Ireland have a good supply of old buildings, door and windows, wall that show the textures of time and stories. Showed it to my neighbour - a retired professional photographer for his comments and he immediate recognized the shop and told me what it used to be and that his cousin used to work there. Back in the 50s!
Its also a pace to go back to. Even though its a narrow street with hardly any sidewalk across the other side, it would good to set up and wait for the person(s) to walk into the scene. Or maybe a self portrait.
This is one of a series looking for and working these kind of ideas while I'm waiting for landscapes to be accessible again.
Working mostly in North America and Europe. Geoscientist, instructor and photographer. I have moved through various genres in photography and I bring experience from one into the next one I focus on. Currently, a change in my work situation is enabling me to focus more on photography and I am working more on portraiture and environmental portraiture to add to documentary projects I am working on. I also enjoy working at photographing place.
