Micro Four Thirds and Obsolescence
An obsolete camera, shooting ancient rock. But is obsolescence a journey or a destination?
That’s a choice every individual must make at some stage in their life.
Planning is Everything
On this day of days, there’s no point in looking back on the mess that was last year. Find a large bottle of alcohol and create your own Indian smoke tent or find an Irish bar, same thing really. It’s all about imagining, visualising, preparedness. The next year is going to be great. Great craic, Great War, great hunger, great invention, great something or other. It always is.
365 times Up Croagh Patrick
Matt Loughrey took the path up Croagh Patrick, known as ‘The Reek’ 365 times in sucession over the last two years. It’s the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest 30 times in a row. Myself and journalist Warren Swords joined him for his final climb. I’m looking forward to following his next adventure. His page on facebook is croaghpatrick365.
On meeting a ditch.
The roads are fun at the moment. It’s like a day out at the funfair, and we’re all on the dodgems. But nobody really wants to smack into a big rig that has decided to jack knife. Oh, for the days of canal boats for heavy goods and, the rest of us – at least the lucky ones – on horse back.
It’s still a regular occurance to see the horse as pedestrian traffic in Ireland. I reckon, when all the oil is gone, the horse will have a renaissance. That’s if they aren’t eaten first.
