Seems like yesterday but 53 years ago made staff photographer with the biggest newspaper group in Ireland. Five Olympic games World Cups politics war famine chaos and every day life. I’ve learnt a lot and still learning…the power of photography #35mmfilm #photography #documentary #belfast #Ireland

A County Waterford #painting "Bunmahon" came out of a day I was cycling along the Copper Coast when two small boats having a conversation in the mouth of the Mahon river insisted I stop and think about life for a while. #SpéirGhorm #Art #TidesOutTuesday #ArtYear
Landscape format in acrylics on canvas. Two rowing boats tied in water in the near centre of the picture. Grasses are in foreground in clumps reaching out into the water. Sand and dune grass is behind the boats and on the right. A grass-topped promontory of lilac sheer rock about 100 metres past stretching out from the left edge to the sea which is just visible behind the dunes by the right edge. The open sea is also visible in a small gap between the dune grass and right end of the rock face. The rock face has countless dark vertical lacerations, and several patches of grass on its side. Cloudless sky is pale blue, water is cobalt, grass green-grey with orange and yellow details, and sand is pink and lilac in sun, blue and purple in shade. Boat on left is white with red details, boat just behind on right is green with a wide red band along the top. Blue ropes stretch from boats to grass on either side.

A #painting from the south of Ireland. "Passage East" came out of a time I visited the Waterford village by bicycle, and this was how it greeted me as I rolled off the ferry across Waterford Harbour from the Wexford side. Drinking tea here was like drinking tea in a fairy tale. #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear
Landscape format in acrylics on canvas. Sunny day. Pale turquoise sky over very pale green and yellow square open at front and bright buildings with dark windows facing in on other sides. An orange two-story house is on the left, and behind to its right is the gable end of a white building, while facing us from the far side is a white 2-story house with violet slate roof, and adjoining it is a prominent 4-story yellow building, 4 window bays wide and sun-glinting pale blue slate roof. Behind is a green bushy steep hill, almost a bluff, with small red building perched on top, its shadowed gable end facing over the town. To right of the square in immediate foreground are road signs including "Welcome to Passage East" in white on red, and a black on white R683 directional sign to "Port Láirge - Waterford", both against a white wall in a flower bed surrounded by a curved wall of white-washed stones. In the centre of the square is a stone walled circular flower-bed, of blue-grey and orange stones in shadow, and 2 dark blue cars to the left where we see the edge of another flower bed. Blue and yellow bunting is strung across the square from lamp-posts. Signed bottom left in red, Liam Daly
