Six test prints of the same image using various exposure times and wash chemistry.
Only just noticed that my bottle of Cyanotype sensitiser ‘expired in 2019’ 😑 still works to some degree, which is what we want right now.
Doing some wee fun tests on an image with what I have to hand.
Stay tuned for more on this. 📷🎞️

A group of musicians and performers in traditional costumes with tall, straw-like headdresses if The Wren gather outside Levis'! They play various instruments, including a flute and banjo, creating a festive atmosphere.
Two individuals are engaged in a dance, while a third person, wearing a veil and a leafy crown, walks nearby. The background consists of a textured wall. It's awkward and it's real.
The Wren boys wear various costumes, some with straw headdresses, and are accompanied by musicians, including a person playing a saxophone as they head away up the street.

The Ballydehob Wren head out and away up the village. 26 December 2025.
The numbers have quietly grown over the past few years.

As seen along the piano keys, Natalia plays piano. Sitting at the other end Eimear plays cello. Both would be facing each other, but they’re not.

Vertical black white panorama photo rising up from a church, overhead clouds and with the barrier and trees behind us topping off the image.
We’ve just had 40-50+ minutes of constant thunder rumbling east of the village.
A couple lightening flashes in it too.
I can’t remember last time I heard it go on that long consistently. Amazing.

Cover of the Glenkeen Variations ‘ArtNature / NatureArt’ catalogue. I’ve been their photographer here, making portraits with most of the visiting artists & other diabolical scenes, which are included in their 1st exhibition catalogue.
My own history with Glenkeen began in early 2000s when Uli Crespo & Michael Satke began collecting my paintings. Three of which, from various series, are visible hanging over the dinner table above. This was a feast of various foraged seaweeds from around our coastline cooked up by Jo Wanneng & Lukas Fütterer aka STRWÜÜ. See next photo. It’s a rare position, one I appreciate, for me to be both included in the permanent collection & continue contributing as the foundation grows from its infancy in such diverse creative company.
Open pages of the catalogue with my portraits of Jo and Lukas, brief cases in hand standing in the low tide up to their ankles in seaweed. See previous photo.
The catalogue goes a long way into recognising / acknowledging the creative community which makes up Ballydehob alongside the environment. Including our much loved Jazz Festival. There’s always a bigger picture.
The Crespo Foundation held their 1st exhibition by artists from their residency program in their new gallery in Frankfurt.
Got my copy of their 1st exhibition catalogue last night.

The fox looking sniffing the ground beneath my window. There’s no snacks there.
Paddy the cat had just been & gone for his snackeen when foxy fox strolled up, emerging out of the darkness, to my window watching me grinning & waving like a mad thing.
The corvids will be along soon. 😻🦊🐦⬛☕️
