I hate phony things.  When I was a toddler and my parents put me on my uncle’s lap because he was dressed as Santa Clause for Christmas it freaked me out because I knew that something was off- that it wasn’t real. I am drawn to things that are genuine.  I am drawn to portraiture […]

I decided to play around with some natural lighting today.  I’m not 100% pleased with the result, only because I didn’t have enough time and assistance to pay attention to the details I normally would.  It’s a nice shot but the OCD monster inside of me is slightly irritated.  Basically, I had a white backdrop […]

Dunguaire Castle sits just outside the village of Kinvara overlooking Galway Bay.  The castle was built in 1520 and has changed hands many times and undergone many renovations and restorations before becoming the property of Shannon Development where it now serves as a tourist attraction and a link to Ireland’s history. We traveled to Kinvara […]

I never got tired of looking at the beautiful and picturesque thatched roof cottages while in Ireland. 5D Mk III with 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM lens.  ISO 100, f/16, 1/100 sec.

This shot shows the view standing on the Cliffs of Moher looking back at O’Brien’s tower where the previous three photographs were taken from.  We got to the Cliffs late in the day and the park staff had gone home as well as most of the tourists so we got to take a long walk […]

I dubbed this shot “lesser cliffs” because it looks out from O’Brien’s Tower in the opposite direction of the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare, Ireland.  While still an impressive scene, the sight which attracts viewers from all over Ireland and the world is 180 degrees behind. 5D Mk III with 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM lens.  […]

Here’s another shot from one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen.  This one looks out to the Cliffs of Moher from the base of O’Brien Tower, featuring some wild flora in the foreground.  I wish there was a way to show you these in full resolution rather than on the web as it seems to […]

This photograph does no justice to perhaps the most majestic sight these eyes have ever seen.  It was bazaar standing there–as if my eyes didn’t believe it was true.  I can’t quite articulate the experience I had but it was overwhelming and awe-inspiring.  Despite the fact that it can’t fully live up to the experience, I’m quite happy with this exposure.  We were […]

My third and final post from the Flaggy Shores of West Clare. 5D Mk III with 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM lens.  ISO 100, f/20, 1/80 sec.
