Ireland

I'm not quite sure what it is, but Ireland grounds me as a human being. Just flying into the country makes me feel more quiet and comfortable in my own skin.

I think it was my first trip to Ireland about 5 years ago that I discovered a love for photographing old graveyards.

We took a drive through the countryside, chauffered by a local taxicab driver who regaled us with stories and patiently pulled over almost everytime we saw something we were dying to shoot. Another charming photograph of Julie Harris. I think this may have been one of the only "people" shots I did in Ireland. While Julie & Paige are inspired by the human interest aspect of photos, I really tend toward still life. More and more I find myself wandering off bedazzeled by some little flower or a haunting landscape that I will never be able to do justice.
The treasured swans of Galway.
The calm before the storm. Within about an hour of taking this photograph a very blustery storm came in with winds so strong we could barely stand up straight!!
