I arrived 20 minutes early for a job interview and noticed another woman sitting beside me in the reception area.

She looked terrified.

“First interview?” I asked.

She nodded.

“I’m shaking.”

I smiled. “You’ll be fine.”

We started chatting, and she told me she had been unemployed for almost a year. This job meant everything to her.

Then the receptionist called my name.

I stood up.

As I walked toward the interview room, the woman whispered:

“Good luck.”

I smiled back.

The interview lasted about 30 minutes.

When I came out, she was gone.

I assumed they had called her in.

Then the receptionist looked at me and said:

“She didn’t come for an interview.”

I frowned.

“What do you mean?”

“She was waiting for you.”

I have been doing a lot of black and white recently even shooting on film. B&W is such a great genre to work in but unfortunately I don't think that it is appreciated enough on social media platforms therefore gets ignored by photographers in pursuit of likes!

Ess-Na-Crub. This image was obviously taken in the Autumn, I came across it whilst choosing images for my new website which I am currently working on. There are a number of waterfalls in Glenariff Forest Park although I thing this is the most picturesque.

Haulbowline. Haulbowline lighthouse in Carlingford Lough. A high key edit seemed to right for this image. The image breaks the composition rules by placing the focal point directly in the centre, but sometimes it just works.

Pier iii. Another day another pier, I seem to be having a bit of a theme with my posts lately.

Horn Head. The sea arch is on a peninsula in north-west County Donegal, Ireland. Horn Head cliffs rise straight out of the water to a height of about 600 ft/180 m on the ocean side of the peninsula.

The Beacon. Moville lighthouse is a freestanding polygonal ‘pile’ lighthouse\beacon, erected c. 1870 occupying a conspicuous location in Lough Foyle to the south-east of Moville. I opted for a slightly high key B&W.

Skippingstone Beach. Skippingstone Beach jetty in Bangor is used by the open water swimmers. There were some brave souls in the water when we visited. I tested the water temperature and it was freezing.

Sunset at Kinnagoe Bay. Kinnagoe is a stunning beach on the Innishown Peninsula, County Donegal.

Old Boat. The old boat down at Portavogie beach. This image was captured last year so I am sure there is even less left of it now.

Kinnagoe Bay. An image from our trip to Kinnagoe Bay in Donegal. We had an overnight stay camping on the beach which was great waking up to the sound of the waves crashing on the sandy beach

The Pier. The pier at Kinnegar is a well photographed location in County Down. It lends itself to different interruptions depending on the weather and light, in this case I captured it mid afternoon therefore the long exposure and B&W seemed to work well.

Water and Ferns. A little study of a waterfall I came across whilst walking through the woods at Murlough Bay.

Murlough Tree. The tree at Murlough Bay which I have captured a few times previously but never from this angle.

White Cottage Murlough. Moody image of the cottage down at Murlough Bay also a bit of a strange sky.
