H.R. Giger, Electical Contractor by Fergal Flatlight
This sinuous mass of wiring, found in an alleyway in Galway's Latin Quarter, reminds me of Giger's work on 'Alien'. www.hrgiger.com
I'm convinced that if Ireland wasn't continually soaked with rain and/or the buildings weren't all of stone and concrete block, the sketchy wiring would burn the country to the ground.

Summer Days, Long Ago by Brenda Kirkley
"The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time."
James Taylor
While wandering the path through the plant nursery, I came upon an old metal chair. The back portion was shell shaped and gloriously rusted.
It immediately transported me back to my Grandparent's farm and warm summers at their house.
If you're not familiar with James Taylor's song, here's a link...

Main photo curves & colors!
Since the release of the first digital cameras I have been connected to photography. At the beginning (in the year 2000) I made my first "steps" with a compact camera, now I work with Canon DSLR cameras. Over time, my initial hobby became a passion that always accompanies me in my life - and sometimes leads me when a picture idea has evolved and I try to implement it. source

I am taking pictures since 1980. After participating in several national competitions I decided in 1985 to participate in international photographic salons and specifically in the sections of color slide, nature and travel photography.

I take pictures form everything that interests me. My pictures are always coming out of my head and then realized with focal lengths ranging from 10 to 400 mm.
An important tool for me is the polarizing filter.
