So, I’ll level with you here.
if I hadn’t been so busy lately these photos wouldn’t be up here.
Getting some quality time with my camera has been increasingly difficult, but I’ll be addressing that next weekend – in some style I hope!
Until then, dear reader, please look kindly on this mixed bag of photos from recent weeks, most of which were taken on a stroll around Dublin, which took in St Stephen’s Green and the Iveagh Gardens.
Others were just random snaps when something caught my eye when the camera was close by.
I’ll try caption them, as best I can.

About Conor Cullen
I purchased my first camera in May 2012, around the time of my 30th birthday, and it has now become the primary way I populate this site.
I couldn't afford a Porsche.
I'm very much a beginner in photography terms, but I'm having fun trying things out and, hopefully, learning as I go.
I'm addicted to chocolate and have a serious pastry fetish. Especially if those pastries are Danish.
I can't stop listening to music, all the time.
I share many things in common with many older Irish ladies, like a devotion to good cups of tea and a deep love of jumpers that, for some reason, other people don't consider so "cool" unless I'm wearing them ironically.
I'm not wearing them ironically. I wouldn't even know how.
My current favourite jumper is mustard in colour and features three ducks, reminsicent of the ones from Duck Hunt on the original Nintendo. It was a present. Thanks Naomi.
I come alive when I'm creating something or helping someone. I have yet to put this knowledge to satisfactory use. The quest for truly worthwhile living continues.
I am a peaceful person, but if I am ever to be convinced to go to war for any cause your best bet is good manners. I'm not all that moved by religion, power or money, but if you don't just hold that door for a second I could become John Rambo. In a skinny, passive aggressive kind of way.
I love trees.
I have a dog called Rusty. He is very handsome, friendly and charming and will feature in many of my photographs.
Much like me, all Rusty wants is generous amounts of food and attention. And a beach to play on.
The thing I want to hear about most is ideas.
I have a strong interest in digital and social media platforms, particularly how they can be used (imaginatively) in a communications context.
I’m a sandwich enthusiast and innovator. All sandwich suggestions welcome.
The views expressed here are solely and wholly my own etc
Random is good to you Conor, love the different random snaps of everyday life in your city.
Thanks John, glad you enjoyed them!
That which seems routine to you is really beautiful to those who aren’t familiar with the sites. Thanks.
Very good point! Thanks very much
I truly enjoyed all the colors (I should’ve typed colour
) of the city and the tour!
Thanks! I guess it is a little tour of sorts
Great capture… and swan aren’t always easiest of subjects…
Thank you. I have a good few of that man feeding the swans, but that one was my favourite.
Great collections!!!
Thanks Sally!
Some very good snapshots! Copeland Outfitters, Crane Lane, True Love? and Andrews Lane are my favorite.
Thanks! Snapshots is the best description for them, actually!
Beautiful shots. Through your lens I see wonderful sights. Thanks!
Thanks Noah, really glad you enjoyed them!
Cool shots.
Thanks very much!
Conor, I love your work – what kind of camera are you shooting with?
Thanks Liv! I use a Nikon D5100.
Yes, random’s great – really glad you posted these. There’s a nice variety to the sequence.
Thanks Richard, glad you liked it.
Mixed bag may be…but all the more interesting for that.
Thanks David!
Good images of life, as it is, not as it should be.
Thank you very much, glad you felt that about them.
Some great shots. Love Crane Lane. Hope you get some quality camera time soon.
Thank you! Next Saturday we and Ms NIkon have a special date arranged
impromptu maybe but a marvellous collection for a photobook – you’ve always an eye on the intriguing apsect no matter how small. Curious to know what’s kept you!
Thanks very much, I appreciate that
Mostly work, French classes, exercise related stuff (soccer, yoga) and socialising… nothing too exciting, but every night this week was full!
Crane Lane is excellent but Face to Face is very well observed. Great timing.
Thanks Andrew!
Great set of shots! I know what you mean about getting time with your camera – work always seems to get in the way! Still, I look forward to whatever comes out of next week!
Thanks, I’m looking forward to it!
Mixed bag of interesting shots
Cheers Andrew!
Your shot of Crane Lane was my favorite. Great shots!
Thanks very much, Cindy!
I am so looking forward to visiting Dublin in September and seeing some of these things myself ???
Hi Conor if possible can I ask you some questions about Dublin please ? Can you email me… thanks heaps…
Hi Linda, of course you can. I’d love to help! Send your questions to conorcullen1 at eircom.net and I’ll get to them as soon as I can.
Thanks you so very much…
I miss St. Stephen’s Green! Love your photos!
Thanks Tenaya!
