In order to make better use of this blog space, I have decided to post larger versions of my Instagram posts here. Sometimes my photographs get lost on Instagram as the viewing window is so small and few people read the captions anyway.
I had covid this time last year and long covid on and off for months thereafter. To hasten my recovery and sustain my creativity I took a daily walk, sometimes alone, sometimes with my dog and endeavoured to make photographs as often as possible. I call this ongoing project my Pandemic Constitutional.
Here are two from last Friday’s meanderings.

Finally, a reminder of my new zine collaboration with my writer son, Eoin. It’s called Solivagant, which means solitary wanderer. See previous posts for details. It’s available for pre-order now at
It costs £10 which includes postage in the UK. I have set it up as a pre-order to reduce the upfront cost of printing. When I get 10 orders I will immediately order a print run of 50 copies.
Thank you for your interest.
