WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT!

Whats it all about indeed! Young Irish men and women scattered to the four corners of the world and left there. Left to their own devices and succeeding.We dont really have to worry to much!
They are an educated bunch for sure.They will have no problems getting on.
 But there are loads of serious questions to be asked and conversations to be had about this process.

WELCOME HOME!!

Meet Conor McMahon,you may have met before here on the liliputian(click here)Conor left his home in Dublin Back in August 2010 and had this to say at the time about the house he was leaving behind"The house is my home and the store of all my effort this last few years. A place to get together with the lads to work on the tunes, or other times where I might draw, conceive new ideas for my next exhibition. It is also my home in this cul-de-sac neighbourhood where I have found myself very much part of the extended neighbourhood family that I became part of 7 years ago now."

THE CITY IS YOUR STAGE

GO PLAY!!
I ts amazing how ones environment can look so different just by the way in which you approach it.
If you take a fresh perspective all viewers will be stunned by the look of what you have created out of the normal.
Such is the magic of photography.
I was joined last Sunday night by Julie Mitchell, A graphic designer from dublin who is out of work and heading to Vancouver Canada soon.She has been very committed to the process of making this work ever since we made contact some weeks ago.
From suggesting a location,reviewing location test shots,to costume,and even as far as helping with the final edit,Julie has been amazing and its been a pleasure to work with her.Although Julie is currently located in carlow,the shot was made near to her home of some years,Smithfield,Dublin.Her location did not hinder our wish to get this shot edited and up in a flash and we used the public folder of the fantastic idisk from mobile me to pass the full 145mb file back and fourth no problem.

Brian Daly and Artur Sikora were on hand again to handle the lighting stuff and make shure i was not flattened by a luas tram(tripod position very close to tracks)
the shot was lit again using the bowens esperit head and travelpac battery system
All editing was done in photoshop cs4 and final contrast was added by using the color efex pro bleach bypass filter on a layer set to about 20% opacity
So the LEAVING DUBLIN project project continues.I am hoping for some male participants in the next few weeks.
But again if any of you know anyone male or female who is about to leave Dublin for another country please direct them to this page.
I woud be delighted to receive comments on this and all postings
