'Spirit', shot in Dublin, Ireland. This image, to me, encapsulates Dublin. I have been to the city a number of times but despite it's charm it is the unseen that makes this city such a magical place. Its the people, the attitude, the atmosphere, the spirit all the things you can't see. I love how this image parodies this notion and how the shadows make this image visible.

'Parisian Stroll', shot in Paris, France. This photograph is the result of a late night wonder through the French capital. It was such a magical and unexpected scene, this is why I love traveling and exploring with my camera.

'Swan Song', shot in St Mark's Square, Venice, Italy. This, to me, is a beautiful but sad image. The ironic nature of what this shot documents prompted it's title, Swan Song. The rising tides in the Italian lagoon are seriously threatening the future of Venice. Yet it is the high tide in this scene that made this shot possible. Ironically the small orchestra on the band stand in this scene had been playing the theme song from the Titanic film but had to stop due to the rising water levels. Never before had I felt such a sense of being in the right place at the right time to adsorb and witness such a memorable scene.
