“The delights a stroll around Dublin can bring you. I’ve always carried my camera around with me, but have only recently started to take it out and not give a shite that I look like a tourist.”
The last couple of months have been busy, and I haven’t gotten out with the camera as much as I would like. Hence, I’m a little rusty. I hope to remedy this though, and over the next while, hope to get one post of pictures up a fortnight… I’ll start off with the below, looking down toward School Street from Earl Street South- “Fuck the System.”
“Dublin is in palliative care, drowning in oceans of Lynx and fake tan and fake people. Hipsters, bints, where have all the real people…” something, something, angry rant, something.
I hoped to have two scooters in this piece, one far more impressive than the one below, but an unfortunate incident of a disappearing memory card means there’s just this one. Just off Grafton Street, a beauty. The blokier version will appear in the next “A few quick snaps” post.
Spotted the below not far from Charlies on Dame Street. (How many is there now?! Drunken cuisine at its finest.) Stunning stencil, gold on black, almost photo quality!
“You are beautiful.” Yes Dublin, you are. I say it every Summer (as if we got one this year,) but Dublin in the sunshine? Why would you ever want to be anywhere else in the world?!
“Occupy your imagination.” Where has the “Occupy” movement gone to anyways?!
Andrew’s Lane Theatre. Stunning graphic… Another image by our good comrade Maser appeared around the other side of the building but some silly bugger decided to tag all over it.
And finally, Viagra, 4 for €25, 10 for €50. Dublin really does make me laugh aloud sometimes.

The first photo’s just around the corner from the house I grew up in. That piece of wasteground behind the hording has been there for at least thirty six years.
Might start getting you to pop in on my folks to see if they’re okay 😉
[…] of the “A Few Quick Snaps” series, as I tried my shot at photography here, here, here and here. In addition to the random snaps, I took a trip to Howth with the camera and started a new […]
Last night I was looking through the hundreds of street snaps I took in Dublin in August 2012, and found one I took of a drainpipe with the words – Dublin is in palliative care….written on it. I tried to find out whether this was a quote from a book or magazine article or something, so I typed it into my search engine. I didn’t find where it originated, but I did find your blog, with an almost identical photo to mine in it, taken in the same month. Don’t you just love coincidences!
