Brilliant Newspiece!


One of my images, 'CandleMan', is the overall winner of The Pictureworks Art Competition 2009.  The image was shot in a church in Copacabana, Bolivia.
As part of the prize the image will be printed on 50,000 postcards which will be available at over 300 locations throughout Ireland from this week.

A very bad blogger

Yes indeed, I have been a very bad blogger of late. 

I was away in South America for 2 months over Christmas and only now (6 months later, I know!) am I getting round to posting the images. You will find lots of new work from my travels already on my photography website, I will post all the rest here.

I hope you enjoy! 

South America - People

Some images of people from my travels in South America


My Argentian counterpart












Bolivian women like their hats...




...and their pigtails and skirts





Salar di Uyuni, Bolivia




Statue of Christ the Redeemer, Rio di Janeiro










More Bolivian hats





South America - Places


Some images of interesting places I came across in South America
 

This was taken from the side of a mountain in Bolivia. The woman just walked into the frame at the last second





I love the man on the anvil!



A village in Bolivia


La Paz, Bolivia. A fantastically hectic capital city, crammed into a valley





Three views of Cusco, Peru










All the above were taken in the Bolivian countryside around the Salar De Uyuni region, a magical place



A long and winding Peruvian road


The sky from Isla del Sol, Bolivia


 

Two views of Iguazu Falls on the Argentian/ Brazilian border. They are huge. You feel utterly insignificant beside them



Machu Picchu, Peru at dawn 


View of Machu Picchu atop Wayna Picchu

South America - Random


What follows are random photos from South America that I couldn't really categorize.







Liked all these textures and shapes..



Coming from a very Catholic family, I've seen my fair share of cribs. This one in Brazil is the weirdest/ ugliest I ever did see.



They love their classic American cars in Argentina, they're everywhere. I took lots of photos of them, this was my favourite car.




Some funny signs



A bored Brazilian dog



For all you fashion snobs...



A rather cool record shop in Buenos Aires. They stocked lots of 'Los Beatles'
