        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ On Wednesday morning I fly back to Italy, I hope to spend the week photographing the Saffron Harvest, Am a bit nervous as I have been wanting to do this for some time and just hope it all goes as planned, also the Olive season will be started so I also hope to make some photographs of it. The weather has just turned very cold over there with 8cm's of snow falling on Campo Imperatore so hopefully that will not affect my plans too much. Until I return .. ciao!! ]]></media:text>

Out of a total of 18 prints I received 8 Golds and 10 silvers so I am feeling very pleased with myself. It does'nt really mean anything to me financially as all we receive are the crests but it is a very useful marketing tool and also entering competitions helps to keep the standard of our work up  so in the end the real winners are our customers. ]]></media:text>

Only took one picture of concert as we were approx 25 rows back from the front of the stage. We had the pleasure of having a girl approx two rows back singing her heart out to all the songs, pity she mixed most of the lyrics up and was way out of key. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Last night in Athlone, Co. Roscommon The Irish Professional Photographers Association held its Second Round of Judging for the 2010 Awards. All in all I had a good night. My final tally for the night was 8 Gold awards and 7 Silver awards. So naturally we adjourned to the Radisson Hotel residents bar to celebrate. (usually a group of photographers from around the country that I am friendly with tend to stay over after these events. Networking is so important!!!! and I suppose the odd couple of drinks dont hurt either LOL ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Just back from Abruzzo, Carapelle was hit much worse than I thought. Most of the streets were closed off and we were the only people to stay in the village at night. On Saturday 16th I met two new friend in Lanciano, Valentina and Giulio ( Mefistofelicat and Anxanum ). We spent a beautiful day in Lanciano and by the sea and hopefully it will be the first of many meetings. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ I will be back in Abruzzo in 8 days, am really looking forward to going back despite all that has happened. I have decided to stay in the house despite the fact most of the villagers are staying away from their homes. I reckon if the house withstood the first and biggest earthquake the aftershocks shouldnt really bother it and anyway it has been standing for approx 600 years and probably will be long after I am gone. This time I will be concentrating on photography and plan to move around a lot and see more of Beautiful Abruzzo. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Getting ready to return to Abruzzo on May 13th. Feelings are mixed as a lot has changed in the few weeks since I was there last. Thankfully my house has not been damaged although other houses in the village were destroyed. There is still no news re. staying in the house because of the continuing aftershocks. The fund raising exhibition for the victims of the earthquake is going well with half of the images sold and I hope to have them all sold before I travel. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ As tourists, photographers etc a lot of us visit many beautiful locations taking our pictures and move , now maybe we can give back something to a community so devasted by this tragedy. I had a thought that if a collection of us donated an image  as a print that can be bought on DA and the proceeds that we would normally receive could instead be donated to an organisation helping the victims. If the admin people here on dA could see their way to making the each of the donated prints a DD it would guarantee maximum viewing and help sell the maximum amount of prints in a very short time. Maybe I am being very naieve here. Anybody any suggestion ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Was woken this morning very early by a phone call friend of mine in Navelli, Abruzzo. The area had been hit by a huge earthquake measuring 6.3. L'Aquila the beautiful Capital city of the Region has been badly damaged and a lot of damage done to surrounding towns. Luckily in Navelli there was very little danage and also in Carapelle where I have a house there was also very little damage. If there are any deviants in the area my thoughts are with you. ]]></media:text>

I love pressure. They are being used for an exhibition in the Hilton Hotel, Kilmainham, Dublin along with the dresses in the photographs which are one off pieces. The budget was tight ( non existent really ) but not every thing in life should be done for money. Denise as well as being the designer also was the model and the whole shoot including walking to and from each location took approx 5 hours. The six image to be used in the exhibition plus one alternate image. All in all it was a fun but hectic  ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Tomorrow (Sat ) I am flying over to Focus 2009 In Birmingham NEC for the weekend. This is one of the biggest Photographis trade shows in Europe. I will only be bringing  my sigma DP1 compact with me as lately there has been too much hassle in the UK regarding photographers in public places and anyway am only travelliong with hand luggage so SLR's would use up my weight allowance. Hopefully I will get a chance to take some pictures in Birmingham. See you all soon ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Last Sunday night (18th Jan) My wife and I attended the Irish Professional Photographers Association Awards Night. This is the culmination of 4 judgings held throughout the year. Anyway to cut a long story short after the meal is over an Oscar type Awards Ceremony is held and the lucky photographers are invited up on stage to receive their award. I was one of those lucky photographers and received the award for the "Overall Reportage Wedding Image of the Year " . Needless to say a very late night was had by all. This was a vey special award for me as I also won it last year so I must be doing something right :). ]]></media:text>
