Like other well-known apps, I wanted to make our own version of “wrapped” for our image database. In 2025: on average, six people log in each day and about 30 images are downloaded. Users have been looking for things like ‘library’, ‘science’ and ‘conferring’.

Sad to hear of the death of Martin Parr. I attended a workshop he led on the Isle of Wight in 2008. It was a delightful tour of his take on England, full of joy and whimsy. He and Susie were such lovely people to spend time with. I remember him fondly and am proud of the images I made that weekend.

It was a real honour to receive my long service award for 25 years as a photographer at University College Dublin from President Professor Orla Feely. I was in good company, nearly 40 other colleagues were honoured.

@johncreedon.bsky.social My heart goes out to Jamaica tonight. I was in Kingston in ‘88 for Gilbert, also a Cat 5. Not something I’d like to go through again. The track and strength of #melissa looks even worse.
