Documentary Street Photography

I've lived in Cork for well over fifteen years. Not long after moving to Cork I discovered photography, documentary photography. While the initial years were spent looking outward and finding an understanding of the medium, I gradually sensed that I was also looking inward, the images were revealing hints about the person behind the camera as well as what lay in front of it and how I relate to what I see. This is a sequence of a small number of images from a vast archive, a wealth of images I have found and visual notes I have collected since 2002 covering not only Ireland but places I have visited and images I have seen on my travels over the years. While I live in a rural area I'll always be drawn to photographing in the city, city life and its subtleties, urban landscapes and human idiosyncrasies, and while there may be gaps of shooting for one reason or another through the years, it's a document that will continue, even after all this time of documenting the city and city life the tone always remains the same
