I dont like being bored
I used to be a chef , when I got bored with Irish food I went to New York to work with some of the best chefs there.
That wasnt boring
Then I needed a break so I decided to be a bicycle messenger on the streets of NY
That wasnt boring either
When I moved back to Ireland food was no longer top of my agenda as I had a young family.I moved to Galway in 2001, went back to a hobby I had in the early 90s, took advantage of the advent of digital and decided to go pro.
Life really got interesting after that
I love my job.
I have shot world leaders, models, movie stars, DJs and clubbers, ballet dancers, local legends.
I have shot in some of the best hotels in Ireland and some of the best food in Ireland.
Ive worked for some of the best PR companies and brands in Ireland.
If Im not busy shooting for clients Im off looking for new challenges.
I was bored in March so I called a group of friends and we made a magazine in 48 hours:

I was bored in January 2011 and spent the year photographing the good and great of Galway. I got carried away so I made a book :

I dont like being bored.
By the way, thats not me. Its my friend Dan.
