Stationary Dancers

Behind the scenes of a performance by Dublin City Universities dance society in the Helix venue. They're preparing to dance in the All-Ireland Dance Experiment competition, to a modern take on Alice in Wonderland. Hence the white rabbit's pocket watches in the center image.

The Naked Musician

Rockin out with his cock out. Havta give him credit for his nice arse though

Taken in the Button Factory, Temple Bar, Dublin, in 2009. 

Stage Lights

Colour distortion by graphics and stage lights.

Note the giant mouse head in the middle picture, like a Supermacs bunny. Terrifying.

A View From Backstage

A friend of the band watching from backstage. I love her tattoo.

Smoking laws don't apply to pimps...

A tough look to pull off, but I think he does it.

All photos were taken at the Button Factory, Temple Bar, Dublin, in 2009. And no, I can't remember who was playing.

Morocco; day to day life

Taken on a beach in Agadir. The camels were brought around strictly as a novelty for tourists, you could pay for a ride on one but you would need to be able to bear the smell... He hassled me for a while to have a go but I decided not to, mainly because he was so annoying

Waiting for the school bus by the side of the road...  The school uniforms seemed to consist of a simple white tunic worn over regular clothes, no bottle green or ugly school crests in sight.

The above photo was a drive by shot, taken on the road to Essaouira. The contrast between the old man and his donkey and the shiny modern car in the background just highlights the changes taking place throughout Morrocco. Western countries are so quick to change, but countries like these have the pride to hold onto their traditions.

The men in the background sitting in the shade of the tree was another common sight, as unemployment is everywhere so the males have nothing to do all day but sit by the side of the road.

Who Needs A Roof?

Taken on the road from Agadir to Essaouira, these images of Moroccan buildings are only a small representation of what people there live and work in. Sure there are modern apartments and houses there too but the colours of the building materials used here are so much more interesting.

Blue Shoes

The Face of a Generation

This woman was definitely my favourite encounter of the trip. I came across her in the fishing town of Essaouira where she was begging on the street. I gave her some money for the photo, an exchange she seemed pretty happy with. 

If you look at the bike in the background you can see through relativity just how tiny and hunched over she is. There was lots of beggars in Morocco but she stood out as being particularly old. I love the colours of the picture..
