Splashing In Puddles of Sand

Photographic Memory vs Memorable Photography

This past week I have seen a lot of 'kodka moments.' Split instances that you wish you could immortalize by capturing them forever. It's usually small things...the same statue of Oscare Wilde I've seen a million times just appealed to the mood I was in. Autumn leaves. A jogging man. Ireland fans on their way to the soccer match. The 'Morning Suit Sprint', the nickname I've given to my walk to work everyday (I happen to pass the train station every morning when the train gets in a floods of suits all race to get to work on time)--it's something so monotonous, so New York- Wall Street-Cosmopolitan that I see some sort of substance in it...whether we run society or society runs us I will leave for another blogging session. But my camera hasn't been by my side (because my bag is bursting with things much less important...) until now. I'm packing a new bag...it's main contents: money, keys, ipod, phone, camera, gum. Always :)

But here's a couple of pics I like...

This is Dublin on a nice day. It's rare to get nice days in October, but we've had a few. I love Dublin when you can see clear blue skies and the sun is shining. This is about 5 minutes from my house...it's my head-clearing place. But I took this pic as I was driving by!






RARELY do I get time on my own now. I guess I am used to having all my weekends to my self last year...my roommates would all go home and I KNEW I would only have to see people if I wanted to. Now I am never alone. Last Thursday I actually had about an hour at home with no one else. It was SO nice to just be alone. I took a picture of my view from the balcony...it just looked so quiet, so peaceful. I liked it...
