Defiantly live.

Who sez:
One of my favourite things about Dublin is the music gigs. I’ve been able to see bands that I wouldn’t have thought I’d ever see while living in Seville. Dublin has such a thriving music scene! I remember being amazed at seeing a full venue wanting to see what I would have thought were obscure bands… of any genre. Some of my favourite gigs include Therapy?, Bang on a Can, Slint… to mention a few.

American photographer Doug DuBois spent his summers in Cobh County, Cork on the southeast coast of Ireland where he serves as artist-in-residence at the Sirius Arts Center. Over the past four years, DuBois has documented the lives of some of Ireland’s teenagers, coming of age.
“I think I set the record for the longest running artist-in-residence,” DuBois told TIME, describing a project which began in 2009 and resulted in My Last Day at Seventeen.
“The photographs here look at the bravado and adventure of childhood with an eye towards its fragility and inevitable loss,” DuBois wrote about the project.

We caught four kids making off with this bike yesterday [Dublin city] – blurred out a few details so if you can tell us general area you lost it or a few details, come get your lovely hipster ride.
Anyone?
