Just finished writing a piece about my friend Simon Reilly for the Spring edition of Irish Arts Review. Simon is now based in Los Angeles but above is a picture of him from 1994/95 in his old Henrietta street studio, Dublin. The piece will be published on March 7th. Meantime, check out some of Simon's watercolours here

Always a joy to catch a glimpse of layers of architectural history!

Just been reading this short piece by J. M. Coetzee on Nelson Mandela in The New York Review. In a few hundred words he has managed to capture the essence of the great man - flaws an'all. Worth a read. And a great pic by Ian Berry. You can read the piece here

Happy to see the article in today's Irish Times about my good friend and producer Nigel Swann - the man who brought Annie Leibovitz to Ireland! Also includes my portrait of Nigel and his co-producer Maria Walsh which we shot last week... as well as some other pictures of mine. You can read the article here

Filming in Connemara today. Beautiful light.

Happy to see my photo and interview with John Rocha in the latest edition of Thread magazine.

In Nottingham for my daughter Violet's graduation. Well done Vi!

On a recce in Belfast and stopped to take a picture of this so called "Peace Wall" which divides the Catholic/Nationalist Falls area from Protestant/Unionist Shankhill. According to Wikipedia there are now 48 Peace Walls, though friends tell me there are many more - and more than at any time during the Troubles. I will have to investigate.

A short piece I made for the Love/Hate Coola Boola Xmas hat charity fundraiser. All funds raised will be donated to the Peter McVerry Trust and Sport Against Racsim Ireland (SARI - the NGO that I chair).
