As a young man with a night job, he chose to wander the streets of Dublin during the day to use his camera to capture the emotional, moving moments and quirky glimpses into the everyday lives of the people of Dublin.
Photographs of young traveler girls feeding a baby from Guinness bottle on O’Connell bridge are juxtaposed against shots of children making a playground out of a vacant site on the corner of Buckingham Street Upper.
Signs protesting against the homeless situation that very much resemble the signs we see in rallies today. Women jostling for a bargain at the secondhand clothes market on Cumberland Street North do not look very different from those seen in Penney’s in the present day.
‘A Different Dublin’ is a nostalgic collection that show a Dublin that is familiar, despite the five decades that separate these photos from today.
