Guinness

Well there goes 2010 a year for many reasons to forget but also a fantastic year in other regards. I hope everyone had a great christmas and a very happy new year.

Big changes are afoot at mcawilliams.com and posting will be pretty slack for the next while while I code up a new version of the site, I am doing this for a few different reasons to make posting for me easier believe me, using a plugin for my pictures through wordpress has proved to be more hassle then its worth, and also a rejuevenation of the site will encourage me to blog more often. I really want to see if there is a way of incorporating my twitter account with the comments section now on wordpress as that seems to be where the majority of comments now take place. I am sure there is a way it could be done but I think its going to be a messy thing to try to install somehow.

Anyhow I have so many photos that I Have not posted this being one of them from last year on a trip to the Guinness Storehouse.

Finding Out About The Blue Mosque

Another photograph from the Blue Mosque while I was in Istanbul. I was thrilled to have managed to get this photo of a single person sitting down studying a guide book, considering there were thousands of people at the mosque.

Odd Fellows

McAWilliams — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 23:44:58 +0000

Well I have been working hard on the site as many of you know and can see, there is still a lot to be done but its getting there slowly, I do hope you can stick with me!

Here is a picture from Stockholm of a door pointed out to me by my good friend Dolly who we were staying with, why it never made the blog before now is beyond me, but it does suit my work at the moment! I am working with Mark Doherty and Barry Murphy again on another television program that is due to air on New Years Eve on RTE1 and I think when you see the program you will agree they really are quite “Odd Fellows”

Broken Window

McAWilliams — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 00:12:51 +0000

Well I decided to put up another image from the last photowalk I was on, this was the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk that took place a while ago. Why go back through my archives?

Well since doing this photowalk brought to my attention by Darren Greene, I have met a load of great photographers both here in Ireland but more so through Twitter. I put up a few of my images on a flickr group page and it opened up new doors to me. Firstly I got followed by @Napp_News which is the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, and then by a load of Napp Members, all except Scott Kelby himself!

These people have been a great source of knowledge to me in relation to my photography, but have also become very good friends since August! so tonight I decided to repay the favour and join up to Napp myself, and what a great deal they have for 99 Dollars you get a years membership with monthly magazines but the main thing for me is the website and the amount of valuable information available to members like tutorials, discounts etc, I can see myself being there for quite a long time trawling through everything.

If you want to join up click here and that will bring you through to the registration page, or if you want any information about the site just ask me on twitter.

So what was all the hassle about

McAWilliams — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 23:33:28 +0000

So here it is, this is what has caused me much pain over the past few weeks, this image was taken when they had finally closed off the building. Much has happened since then, and is taking its toll on us, painting, flooring, carpeting, new ovens and hobs, and of course my favourite the garden. All of this is in the process of been done by Paula and I and we hope to have the guts of it all done by the end of next week.

I have taken a load of other pictures of the sunroom but to be honest I think I will leave them on the hard drive, and put up some shots when all work is completed.
