I really enjoyed walking the streets and taking pictures. All my dole money went on it. My father didn’t understand why I was spending so much money taking and developing all these pictures. He kept saying that they were going to be knocked down.

Dublin, Ireland | 1990
Before the crowds and cafés, it was a quiet place of old streets and older faces. I spent a day walking with my camera—workers laying cobblestones, old buildings leaning into the past, locals going about their lives. A day in the life, just before everything changed.
Ninh Binh, Vietnam | 2024-2025
Nestled between towering limestone karsts and winding rivers, Ninh Binh is a place where history and daily life intertwine. Farmers wade through flooded rice paddies, their hands swift and practiced, planting the next harvest. Fishermen cast their nets in quiet waters, carrying on traditions that have shaped this land for generations.
Sheriff Street, Dublin | 1988-1989
I think the hardest job about this project was the printing. I wasn’t very good at the time so I’d spend ages just trying to get something decent. Nowadays, I don’t think people understand how hard it used to be to print your own work. You really had to want to do it.
