ABOUT
A few details about the person behind this website.
I’m that guy in the picture.
I am an editor and a writer, with a background in publishing, journalism, websites, and design. I also love photography and am exploring my interest in filmmaking.
Spoiler alert: This site features some of my writing and photography.
My career has focused on supporting nonprofit organisations and social justice causes. I studied history and international affairs. I’ve resided in a number of places including Berlin, Bonn, New York, Hong Kong, Sofia, Buenos Aires, London, Chicago, and Geneva. I remain available for call-up to the Irish squad, should a deficient right-back be required (hint, hint).
A revealing new documentary from Bernardo Ruiz – visit the film's website and read my personal reflection on contributing to the production.
Statement of photographic authenticity
This website contains real photographs, taken by exposing light to either film or a digital sensor. Information about the camera used is provided with each photo. Some photos are retouched for contrast and colour adjustments, to remove dust and scratches from film scans, or to crop the dimensions.
There are no so-called Artificial Intelligence (AI)-generated images in my collection.
I value the process and experience of making photographs, and do not wish to devalue it by including text-prompted computer graphics derived from the unattributed cannibalisation of real photographers' works.
Note on the texts
The texts here come from work done around the world in different professional and academic settings, where I generally adhered to the prevailing local style. I don't deem it necessary to harmonise styles now.
I built this site using Craft CMS, based on the W3.css framework. Many thanks to Andrew Kelly of Anbod.io for his support.
