Some bits about me? Okay, let’s see.  I’m Patrick Dinneen (also known as ‘Pa’), from Cork but living in Galway. I’ve always liked photogrpahy, must have gotten the bug from my dad. I remember one birthday many moons ago he gave me an slr as a present but all I saw was a big, clunky camera. So [...]

Where do I start?

I can remember taking photos with a Box Brownie type camera with its 120 film. I used to love watching the film numbers passing by the red window as you wound it on. Trying to centre people in the viewfinder by having to move it the wrong way was always [...]

Everyday we are surrounded by breathtaking images, may they be landscapes, people, objects or situations. What photography has allowed me to do however is to capture those images and memories and to share them with others.

I’ve always had a keen interest in photography and is the subject of my earliest memory. Crawling around [...]

Like most photographers I can remember having a camera in my hand as a young kid. What kind? Who knows. I don’t remember specifics. I just know I have the evidence to back up my statement (or the proof is in the photos). I do think that I must have inherited the photo taking [...]

My first digital camera was a 1.3 pixel samsung [...]

I am a relative newbie to photography. I have always had an interest, took a module in 4th year in school. We used Pentax cameras, black and white film and developed and printed our own shots. Our teacher was passionate about the subject which drew me in totally, but I never got around to buying [...]

I’ve been taking pictures since I was a child. My first two cameras used 110mm film in a little case and when I went to college I bought my first (third or fourth hand) film SLR. My Dad was a keen photographer and we used to process black and white film in my brothers bedroom [...]

I’ve been in to photography on and off since forever but it’s only been in the last 12 months that I’ve picked up a camera again with any seriousness since the film days.  Previously, photography was a very solitary affair for me – the only the other person I knew who was in to photography [...]
