So, I was in Belfast recently, photographing a burlesque festival.
All was going fine till the last performer and the dreaded red lights...
I didn't think I'd get anything much, and to be honest, I didn't!
I did manage to rescue this shit though. At least I think I did!

I headed to the Circus Gerbola today in Naas to take some pretty pictures.
It was probably the most difficult shoot I've ever had.
Everything moves so quickly, lights change so fast...
It was great fun though, support the circus!

It's almost time for me to go vote...
If you have a vote and can't be arsed voting, you're doing nothing to prevent a candidate being elected.
Get up off your hole, go vote and get a spice bag or a snack box on the way home.

I headed down to Dunamaise Arts Centre tonight to see the Climate Change Cabaret.
I hadn't intended to shoot the show, but I stopped off on the way and picked up my camera. I'm glad I did. It was a great mix of cabaret, burlesque, and science!
These are just a few quick edits before bed.

Convicted rapist McGregor knows zilch about how the Irish presidency works. If, by an act of pure sorcery, he were elected, he could not do ANYTHING without govt permission - including entering the Dept of the Taoiseach, where he is photographed. The parliament is on a different street!
