Ha’Penny Bridge is Dublin’s oldest bridge, and for a long time, the only bridge over which you could cross the River Liffy. It cost a ha’penny (a half penny) to do so, hence the name.

Kitsnaps: Deirdre
There’s not much evidence of it in my portfolio, but my favorite kind of photography is portraits. I have a project in mind (don’t I always?) to celebrate 2016 in Ireland, with a theme/subtitle of something along the lines of “Children of the Revolution: The Ireland Michael Collins Never Imagined,” that focuses heavily (but not exclusively) on Ireland as an immigrant, rather than an emigrant, state. It would be either 100 or 200 photos, probably: half of them portrait shots, and half images of the same people ‘in context’, at…
Kitsnaps: Castle Ross Boats
I’m pretty certain Castle Ross is down in the Killarney area, though I could be wrong and it could be up by Shannon. No, I’m right, I’ve just checked and it is Killarney.

Oops. :) Anyway, I believe this is one of the restored castles (well, not *this*, this is obviously boats outside of it) and that it was super cool to visit. I also believe I had the camera accidentally set to manual focus for most of this holiday and that…

I believe it’s Castle Key, and Lough Key, that the Fairy Bridge photograph was taken at, and where I wish to go again with the 40 & 50mm lenses to take pictures of the bluebells. :) Yes, yes it is. I just went and looked it up. This would be another place I’d want to recommend to tourists, or possibly just people with small children, as there’s a lot of ground to run around on here, and good stuff to play on, and also it’s preposterously beautiful. That castle is,…
