#capel st

The countdown has begun; only 49 days until I fly outta here. First stop Chicago, then Seattle for a few days, until I land in Melbourne.

A couple of months ago a good friend of mine (Alison) mentioned that her photography lecturer in DIT was looking for volunteers for one of his projects, 'leaving dublin'.

David Monahan (Blog here) is running a project taking pictures of people/family's who are emigrating, all sitting on the same suitcase. He was interested on what made people want to pack up everything and leave. I was looking for an interesting background image for this blog, so I was delighted to get involved. (involvement = 15 minutes sitting on Capal St. bridge)

  This is a great project and he has taken some amazing shots. My chosen location at the bridge was due to it being one of the most central locations in Dublin for me. I've always worked/lived/drank within a few minutes of that bridge and the shot itself is (I think) pretty good. Damn, I look tired though.

If anyone wants to more, head over to David's blog and get in touch:
