About

“I only went out for a walk, and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, i found, was really going in.” (John Muir)

I grew up on a farm near Corofin village in north Clare and am currently living in Kildysart village in west Clare. At an early age I developed a passion for photography and for the beauty of nature and the Irish countryside. I am addicted to the sounds and to the beauty and tranquility of rural Ireland. I travel a lot throughout Ireland hillwalking, taking landscape photos and photographing and researching the history of Ireland’s countless beautiful ruined churches, castles and monuments. My favorite place in Ireland is the Macgillycuddy Reeks mountain range in county Kerry. With their rugged beauty, splendid views and peacefulness I can often empathize with Norman Maclean’s great line from A River Runs Through It “When I am alone in the half light of the canyon all existence seems to fade to a being with my soul, and memories and the sounds of the Big Black Foot River”
In my work I endeavor to portray the Irish landscape and its national treasures in all their beauty and magnificence. I thank you sincerely for visiting my website and hope you enjoy looking at my photos

I shoot with a Cannon EOS 400D camera
