I was lucky enough to do a house-swap with an artist friend in Paris for a couple of weeks, giving me a much needed fix of France - got to see friends, some great art and just enjoy being in the greatest city in the world. I also got down to Arles to see the Rencontres photography Festival, always worth the trip.

I was delighted to be invited back to the Fumbally Exchange, where I worked for several years, to show and discuss two of my short films. They asked for a description of what I was planning to show, so I gave them ‘ a drama about a middle aged woman going out to try to get laid, and the other a kind of love poem to my favourite inspirational place.’
It was fun!
Very glad to have two works in the excellent Iova Group Culture night show

Read MoreMichael Snoek and his wife Dorothee have been family friends since I was a small boy. He was working as a geophysicist in Hamburg when I passed through as a teenage runaway, and he was kind enough to get me a life-changing job with the Max Planck Institut that took me off to live and work in Greece and Morocco as a geo-electrical surveyor. Some years later they moved to Ireland and Michael became very involved with photography and was one of the founders of the Kamera 8 gallery in Wexford. He’s just launched his fantastic new site, link here.
Much like myself, Michael is not half as stern as he sometimes seems in photographs.

I think I was about nine when Michael took this picture of me.
