Equal Fashion Magazine Vol 4-2016 |
Kerry is a must for me. I seen a picture of it before that a friend of mine took who is a lorry driver from Manchester. When Charlie showed me the picture I looked at for ages it was stunning so that is a must also, the rest I? m going to play by ear as they say, and I think also as I am going along hopefully the readers of Equal mag will suggest some neat places to go somewhere off the beaten track a bit, and help me on my way which I am sure they will.
Q10. What do you love taking photographs of the most?
A10. I think the diversity it? s giving me at the moment as I try and find a certain area of photography that maybe I will stick with i. e. landscape, wedding, fashion, portraits etc although I am mostly known locally for landscape and seascape I could settle on something entirely different so in a way still trying to find myself that way but loving the learning of all the aspects of photography it gives me a buzz that is hard to describe. I remember the first time doing a holy communion and handing the images over and the wee girls mother started to cry because she was so happy

with what we got that day and sent me a lovely card in the post afterwards and I have got quite a few cards now at the moment and they really do cheer you up if your not having the best of a day and great to look back on. It? s such a good feeling to get a reaction like that from someone its a great lift. But as much as I love the landscape I also like people on a shoot, getting to know someone on a new level, a more intimate level. I have been on a shoot recently and had the customer completely open up to me about all sorts of things that was going on in her life, and that helps me to know that someone can feel that comfortable around me. They say don? t work with kids and animals but I love working with both and I think people who say that don? t have bills to pay!! I do!! Ha ha.
Q11. We wish you a very safe and happy fulfilling journey out there on the road. Maybe you will capture an old character in the village of Cong in County Mayo where the movie the Quiet Man was shot with John Wayne and Maureen O? Hara, maybe you? ll catch a salmon rising the leap as the fishing season draws closer, maybe you? ll find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow or

catch the morning dew drops on the spiders webs in a random field, who knows, but we wish you all the best and with one last question. Who or what is your biggest inspiration?
A11. My biggest inspiration is my family they have being so much support to me this past 2 years could not have done it without them my mother and father in particular. I have a great relationship with them today getting sober was not easy but it would have been a dam lot harder without them by my side I can tell you that, and my very good friend Terry if not for him and my father we would not be having this conversation. Lastly before I head off I want to say a big thanks to Shelley Rodgers and Kieran Sherry for this amazing idea and opportunity with Equal Mag I hope to see you all soon and don? t forget to let me know if there is anywhere you think I should visit and if you bump into me on the way please feel free to come over and chat for a while don? t be stranger. So starting off in Co. Down and I will let you all know in the next issue where I will be going from there. Thanks again hope to see some of you out on my travels.
