I am happy to be returning to Ireland for a week in August to visit my friends Simon and Esther. They live just outside Clonakilty which is in County Cork. Ireland is a very beautiful and peaceful place, and I am looking forward to a week of relaxing with friends, running along the beach in the morning, and taking my camera out to try and capture some of the beauty.
One of Simon's friends owns a cafe in Clonakilty called Betty Brosnan's (which does killer breakfasts btw). In addition to the food, he also uses the space to display his own black and white photography taken in and around the West Cork area. It is great to be able to relax with cup of coffee and admire the great pictures. You can even buy the pictures if any take your fancy.
I am happy to say that it is no longer necessary to travel all the way to Southern Ireland to enjoy the pictures. Simon recently helped Dermot put a website online to showcase and sell the pictures. The site can be found at http://www.westcorkinblackandwhite.com. Take a look, see what you think.
