A selection of images from an extensive Marriage Referendum photo essay by photogrpaher Tristan Hutchinson.
Tristan writes:
“Shot over the course of six months, the work follows the different campaigners, activists, canvassers, everyday voting public and members of the LGBT community as Ireland went to the polls.”
From top: A Pledge to Vote box at a LGBT deaf fundraiser; Dale McDermott, then-President of Young Fine Gael; Mary Knox O’Brien and a letter she wrote to the media supporting a Yes vote for her son Cian; A church in Roscommon; Ben Conroy, of the Iona Institute; Alfonso and Rob; A church in Co. Mayo; The Iona Institute, concedes defeat; Celebrations in Dublin Castle after the final tally is announced – 62.1% to 37.9% in favour of same-sex marriage

Alfonso and Rob is a bit Randall and Hopkirk (deceased).
I thought it was a double negative as they look the spit of each other.
Ah I dunno, the one lying down is more like the ghost of Vincent Hanley.
Dale’s a li’l WET ting in all fairness.
He’s fierce cute if it wasn’t for the FG thing.
Nothing like a right-winger in the bedroom. They’re individualists on the streets, anarchists in the sheets ;)
Tristan’s name is Hutchinson, not Atchinson. He has an interesting Tumblr blog of his own and other folks’ photography: http://tristanhutchinson.tumblr.com/
