Cork Hill

Good evening, Wow! Another month has bitten the dust. How have you all survived without hearing from me? I know, it's delusional on my part to think like this. If the truth be told I'm blogging into the silence. Anyway, here's a picture of Cork Hill. Hope you like it. Humble to the fiber of my being, Brian

Crookhaven

Good evening, Wow! I can hardly believe it but it's been a month since I blogged. How have you all survived? In the meantime, I've used Twitter of course, but hey that's mere microblogging. Anyway, I'll keep this brief. I'm posting a link below to some footage I filmed in the village of Crookhaven in West Cork. I visited there on the 15th of February last. It was a wet and dreary day and visibility was poor but I still found the place charming. It's in a very westerly part of West Cork - remote and mysterious. Although I've never been to Cornwall, Crookhaven reminded me of what I think Cornwall would be like; if that makes sense. That's it. I'll shut up for now. Enjoy the footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8rlKbWffnE With lashings of humility, Brian

By the Dawn's Early Light

Good afternoon, Well I'm back. It's been a month. Thought I'd squeeze in one last blog post before January 2013 fades out. My rationale being that I can then say I blog at least once a month. Got to keep the old readerless entity ticking along. No vidoes to post this time around. Stop that crying. Instead I offer you the above photograph taken the 4th of January last in the centre of Dublin. Specifically, at dawn in the Dubh Linn Gardens, Dublin Castle. What was I doing there at dawn I hear you ask? Not much actually is the simple answer. I suppose I could say I was gazing at the sky and thinking about my soul if I wanted to go into it; but I don't. Anyway, I touched up the photograph ever so slightly by means of the Camera Plus app that I have installed on my iPhone 4. I hope that you (if there is a you!) enjoy the picture:-) Racked with humilty, Brian

Referendum Count

Friends, Okay, that might be stretching it a bit. I mean, does anybody even read these posts? Anyway, it's New Year's Eve and I'm ending the year with a post that has no relevance to that fact whatsoever. It's a piece of footage from all of seven months back. I shot it in Dublin Castle on my iPhone. The occasion was the Fiscal Treaty referendum count. As you can see from the photo above, Miriam O'Callaghan of RTÉ was interviewing two politicos, namely, the leftie Richard Boyd Barrett and the more-to-the-right and fragrant Lucinda Creighton. Yours truly was nearby: watching, watching, always watching... Have a great 2013! Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtD9T43DKW8 I remain your humble servant, Brian

Binky Bunny

Friends, Here's link to a binky bunny, having some fun on a Saturday night. I threw up the picture of me on the Empire State purely because it reminded me of King Kong. There's no connection to the bunny film in case you are confused. The rabbit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vF5TmliOHC8 Humbly, Brian

Empire State

Friends, (See previous posts as to how I feel about using that opening term). Anyway, up next is some brief footage shot atop the world famous Empire State Building in New York City. Completed in 1931 and standing at some 1,250 feet, the edifice really needs no introduction. I did the $25 tour up to the observation deck on the 86th floor and it was worth every cent. It was so impressive to see the amazing city of New York laid out before my eyes from such a height. My darling girl Aisling was with me, too, as you'll see from the video. Luckily, there was no sign of King Kong the day I was there. Please enjoy the footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDCpvkZRxjs&feature=plcp With utter humility, Brian

Times Square Snippet

Hi Friends, Once again I ask myself: am I delusional addressing my blog with that opener "Hi Friends"? I mean, does anyone even read the freaking thing? Well, I'll just have to ponder that question alone I guess. Now, to the business at hand. Below is a link to a snippet of footage I shot in New York's Times Square about a month ago. I think it gives a flavour of that bright and bustling place. If I'm not mistaken it was taken on the night of Saturday, September 29th 2012. The news today, October 30th, is bad regarding Hurricane Sandy and her effect on the east coast of America including New York. I pray that that great city and country will recover quickly from the battering they are getting right now. Please enjoy the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQz8o5fNw1M Humble as always, Brian
