18-11-11- It’s raining. Thirty Six millimeters of rain measured overnight at Cork Airport. I have just arrived up to my office-attic around 9am this morning. I have one skylight window through which I can admire the world from way up here. Out the window today I see rain, lots of rain. Rain is water. I photograph water. I photograph water often. Doesn’t matter if the water is on the ground or in the 
sky, I normally still point my cameras at it. Looking out now I see a completely grey sky with wind blowing showers across from west to east. I often drop the camera shutter speeds way down to try and better capture falling rain in a photograph. I think about doing that now. But I notice a new actor on the stage. A tiny leaf has become stuck to the outside of the glass. It sticks there stubbornly while rainwater streams all around it. It’s a fairly dull looking tan / brown tinted leaf but it looks much brighter than it should because everything else around it right now is such a grey monotone. For added excitement it has got a tiny pin sized hole in it. Normally the hole would not be seen but its quite visible now with all the light from the sky coming in behind it. That hole makes it much more interesting, gives it an enhanced beauty.
The show features the work of photographer Timothy James. All photographs have a Water Theme.
There are photographs of sailing, seas, islands, boats and more. Continue reading

It is a number of benefits to the artist; exposure of your work, possibility of a sale (generously the bar owner Benny McCabe sells completely without any commission) and the collegiality of display amongst your peers.

Bodega Salon is an art display with a difference,- it’s in a fully licensed bar! And in a pretty fine and very nice looking bar at that. A bar that cost a million Euro Plus to outfit. In truth the art is bolted on around the bar but it does all add to the overall theme of the place. Continue reading
Two of my water images are now exhibited in the innovative “Salon at the Bodega”. The Salon is an exhibition of art works of various types including painting, sculpture and photography. It is innovative in as much as it is a gallery of art, surrounding a bar. Enjoy a drink and a look at the art at the same time.
