About

"This project really began in 2010 but the first images didn't start to emerge until January 2012. The aim, to produce a photographic study of the place where I live and equally important, the story of it's residents. Very much a collaborative, community project, I envisaged a two-year time-frame that would bring me closer to my neighbours and hopefully record for the future, the here and now, trials and tribulations of living in Ireland at this time of great change and uncertainty about our future. However, the project has grown much greater than that as my relationship develops with the subject.
This is a work in progress and this space is created in an attempt to shape and contextualise the work to date."
