Here is a random sample of my photos. Visit my galleries for many more.


<p>A winter afternoon at the corner of Lavalle and Suipacha, entering the Microcentro.<br /></p>

<p>'Smoke before life smokes you'. A healthy dose of nihilism on an electric box.</p>
<p>A boy cycling through town.</p>
<p>A sign with nothing to say.</p>
<p>An interplay of triangles from the 19th and 21st centuries in Cork.</p>
