Last Monday I went to the launch of the National Photographic Exhibition. Last year 500,000 people saw the photographs. A similar number is expected again in 2010. That’s great. Five of my photographs are included in the exhibit.
One of the reasons the exhibition gets such phenomenal viewing figures is the choice of venues throughout Ireland – all of which are public spaces.
The photographs will be on show at Cork airport in the arrivals and departure hall for several weeks before moving on to Limerick.
Already, we’ve had an enquiry from somebody who saw my work while traveling.
I was back at the airport on Tuesday, this time as a passenger, and I took this grab shot of the exhibition.

I also took this one. It makes me smile how children and adults have such different ways of passing the time while waiting for their flights.
