I made a video to help the efforts at Uplift in getting signatures for the Syrian refugee petition they’ve devised. It’s a version of Paul McCartney’s ‘Let ‘Em In’ cut to difficult-to-watch footage. My hope is it will help get the petition over the 45,000 signature target.
The Uplift petition currently has almost 37,000 signatures.

We live our lives so distractedly, forgetting what is important, and being drawn by the light of every passing ship.

..I’m a photographer and I’ve been interested in making timelapses for quite some time but I like having the camera free for taking photos, when I recently bought a Go Pro that solved that problem , shoot the timelapse on the Go Pro and take photos with my Nikon .
As I hadn’t been out and about Inishowen taking photos as I usually do and with the arrival of the recent snow I decided it a very apt time to remedy this, so on went the all weather clothing , filled the flask with coffee and off I went out to “The Parish”
