Jeez, are we not depressed enough already?
A great photographer. Well done in capturing those moments from our time.
Jeez, are we not depressed enough? ;-)
Great pics.
I hope Charlie Bird didn’t get lonely in Limerick.
If any Irish journalists were worth their salt, Ireland would be a far less corrupt place than it is.
They’re complicit.
Too true, prescient one, too true. Journalism now consists of e.g. Niamh Horan talks to someone’s ex,(who is now a ‘blogger’) about how independent and ‘out there’ she is. Alternatively, some drone talks to some Gaaaaah player about depression (and gambling ;-)). THAT is Journalism in this country.
