Charity CD Cover – Star of Light, Scoil Mhuire Choir, Trim, Co. Meath –

Just a quick mention here for the ‘Start of Light’ CD which was produced by the Schoil Mhuire Choir from Trim Co. Meath (Choir Director : Jane Lynch) where the proceeds are in aid of the SVP.

I was delighted that one of my favourite Christmas photos was chosen by them for the cover. I took this a few years ago, when the tree used to be erected down by the castle. These days it’s in Market St – beside the courthouse.

Christmas 2011 – photos from Dun Laoghaire Pier

Some photos taken from Dun Laoghaire pier – the bandstand was outlined with some Xmas lights (though the protective barriers around it did take away from the impact).

Food Photography – Alexis Bar & Grill, Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin

Alexis bar & grill in Dun Laoghaire has been open for nearly 5 years now – and going strong from the start. Recently, they decided to revamp the menu, the interior and their website.

I’ve been taking photographs for them since they first opened, and I’m also a happy customer. The photos below show some of the photos I did for their new website (www.alexis.ie) as well as some of my own favourites.

First the interior :

Bear in mind that some of the menu consists of daily or seasonal specials – so not everything pictured above will be available on a given day.

Killiney Hill

The weather was mild and bright last Sunday, and I went for a walk to one of my local favourite places – Killiney (and Dalkey) Hill. The day was a bit too hazy for the sort of photos I wanted to take – but I ended up with a few anyway. The first one is of the Obelisk on Killiney Hill taken from Dalkey Hill.

The second is of a castle taken from near the Obelisk. Like most people around here – I know who lives there – but I’m not sayin’ :-)

ODonoghues Pub – Merrion Row

This blog also replaces an older one I started – Graphic Dublin – but let slip by the wayside. However, I mean to continue it on – even if only as a category on this one. I’ll be starting by reposting some of my favourite images from the old one. This is my first one, and is a firm favourite of mine.

The main reason for this being the sign just above the head of the guy engaged in an animated conversation on his mobile :-)
