Martin.
Available online for the first time.
In November 2013, photographer Donal Moloney encountered a homeless man feeding a flock of pigeons in Westland Row, Dublin 2.
A friendship began.
Donal writes:
This short documentary explores the development of our relationship over the last few years but more importantly the search for happiness and what it means to different people.

Enjoyed watching this story unfold on the site over the past few years.
Beautiful story and extremely thought provoking.
I’d suggest Donal’s work can stand up for itself, Bodger
some overzealous comment-deleting going on
i thought i had read comments that were deleted alright
really poor form from BS, let opinions be challenged
You’re right. Sorry Brother, we feel protective toward both men.
That’s a small bit misleading. The comment I’m referring to wasn’t personal agaisnt either man. It was a suggestion that it’s wrong to profit from someone else’s misfortune. I don’t think that’s what Donal is doing, but I still think the comment should have stood. Leave it to others to discuss it, no?
Telling someone’s story isn’t ‘profiting from their misfortune’.
SECURITY! remove him.
Hope it’s safe to comment that the sound editing could be better.
Such a lovely documentary. Well done Donal.
I’m constantly amazed at the constant BS commenters urge to find the negative within so many posts no matter the subject or how positive it is. Isn’t it ironic that the documentary examines our happiness yet there’s so many unhappy people about.
that’s some deep sh1t right there, dee
Word.
Work, you surely mean.
Nah, not on a Friday afternoon. I’m too busy thinking about the fact I’m to old for Leccers Piccers, really.
I’m not old enough
Deffo going next year though
Sound advice, you can’t be happy if you’re searching for happiness.
Nice film.
I remember Broadsheet posting the first photo Donal had taken of Martin a few years ago and the reaction caused quite a stir. Trolls appeared from all angles and some people even suggested that Donal would drop him within a week or two of getting a few more shots. Yet here we are are 3/4 years later and they are friends for life.
Congratulations Donal, you are a credit to yourself and have me believe there is a future for the human race.
