Teenage Photography

Say Cheese,
Here are four photographs that I took when I was a teenager with my Holga camera.
These four photographs begin to describe my life growing up in Northern Ireland. The first is of one of the famous Harland and Wolff cranes in Belfast - where they built the Titanic. The second was taken during a 12th of July parade in a village called Kesh - one of my paternal grandfather was originally from Kesh. The centre of the third is of a carved figure from the ruins of an ancient church on an island near where I grew up called White Island - there are many old Christian monastic sites in the area. Surrounding the photo of the figure is the view from my window when I studied in a village called Limavady - it was my first time living away from home. The fourth is of a cow on a sunny day - I grew up on a dairy farm.
Chat soon,
