A July Day

Hi, The picture above was taken on the morning of July 7th,  2012 with my iPhone 4 camera. If I may say so - in all humility of course! - I think it's rather bloody good. I was cycling back from the Phoenix Park where I had gone to get a pleasant morning's exercise - if exercise is ever meant to be pleasant! The day was clement after a night of extremely heavy rain. Cycling by the canal over the bridge at Castleknock train station, I glimpsed the delightful idyll before my eyes and simply had to get off my bike and shoot the scene. I'm sure glad I did. Please enjoy. Humble to the core of my being, Brian

Spider on the Line

Hello, The flower above is ablaze in my garden, praise be to Jah! Myself and Aisling were out in it the other night, too, when we espied an arachnid weaving its intricate web by the clothesline. Being an avid recorder of interesting things in this world (well, I think they're interesting), I began filming the little fellow and his thin home with my iPhone. On the piece, there's a nice exchange to be heard betwixt myself and herself in which we comment upon the sheer wondrousness of it all. Sadly, there's also a rather lame attempt at wit on my part towards the one-minute mark in which I draw a tenuous link to the new Spider-Man film. Apologies for that, but I've no doubt you will enjoy the rest of the short film. Here she goes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3x8w9pfH1pI With deep humility, Brian

Path of the Phoenix

Greetings, More filming whilst riding the cycle paths in the beautiful Phoenix Park. Thanks to YouTube's editing tool, it all looks wonderfully steady. Was also able to add The Waterboys' song "On My Way to Heaven" which was available from YouTube's catalogue. If I do say so myself, the overall effect is decidedly cool. Watch out for the piece at the end, as I careen towards the Castleknock Gate, you'll see a sign saying the park is celebrating 350 years in existence! Here's to the next 350:-) Enjoy the video, the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vt04SV4EQQ Yours, humbly, Brian
