I got a text message from my brother today that my birthday portrait was up on flickr. Its strange looking at photos of myself but I really like this one. His site is at Flickr his sets are down the side. Some great ones in most interesting and some cool places in places mostly from his trip round the world a few years ago when he was laid off and given consolation prize of lots of money!
He is a really good photographer. he messes around with strange old fashioned cameras and at one stage was using coffee and lemon juice to develop the films. If you ever want portraits done give him a shout. i am constantly asking him when he is going to get an exhibition together or show his work in a cafe or a restaurant for sale. Since Mark has been born there has been nothing but baby photos and photos of mother and baby This one is one of favourites of Mark.
The colour is wonderful. Very subtle. The next one is my sister with a double exposure. I love the way the foliage is over her. She would prefer it without the camera around her neck.
And a cool one of a weird skyline developed with coffee..
and an amazing one of our dad looking very wise man of Aran
and I love this one
and of course the artist himself

i find the good ones tend to either happen by accident or taken by someone who knows what they are doing!
