Hi all!

Myself and Cork Camera Group are hiring out a studio in the next few weeks, for you it’s a chance to get shots from 8 different photographers, I can even send you links to their galleries beforehand so you can see which style suits you etc..

It’s the usual arrangement of trade for cd, so we pay for the studio, take photos, you sign a model release, and in exchange, each photographer that did a session with you sends you a cd of the images for your portfolio.

Please email me if you are interested!!

The day started at around 10-11am, and went right on through the night. I tried to squeeze as much as possible into my little schedule, but because some workshops/events clashed, I picked my favorites and stayed clock watching for the day.

As I write this now, I’m still pretty tired, but what a day. The sun was shining, there was a nip in the air, and everyone was rosy cheeked. After a quick coffee I was on my way, and I found myself even getting involved in events that I really intended to document with a rather cold eye.

The warmth of the day, people donating their time. People donating their food. People donating their buildings/workplaces. People donating wool, to willow branches, to cakes, to time. For what? For the community, and I think it must have been the first time in many decades that Douglas Street felt that warmth of neighborhood, but more importantly, this day was honouring women, women who’s history we have either forgotten, or never been taught. Women and men who paved the way, not just for women’s rights, but for human rights. From light-hearted lotion making, to moving and stirring words from female activists, the day had just the right balance for me.

Now the photography/technical stuff: what a tough day’s shooting! Going from dark indoor spaces, to outside with glaring sun and harsh shadows, to indoors with lovely but very bright back lighting.. I tell you as a photographer I was tested that’s for sure :) But hopefully the results are good, at least I have a few favorites (top favourite of the bunch for me is the photo of Maura Harrington below), and the rest you can see on flickr!
