Verne Troyer (aka Mini-Me)

Verne Troyer (aka Mini-Me) — I failed at getting a decent quality photo of this guy. It’s a bit poor blaming my camera, but it being poor indoors is why my sister gave it to me as a hand-me-down.

look that way, no, this way

That way?

Eircom phone box

Notice of removal on an eircom phone box, I think this had past it’s date of removal. I would say as quick as they are for line installation (as is a comment complaint), but eircom have always been fast enough when I’ve called them.

Photo blogging catch up… err, since September

Haven’t photo blogged in ages. He’s some of my favourite shots of mine, and a bit of a round-up of the shots I’ve taken since September:

Tesco

Very retro looking Tesco supermarket, but very new price cutting.

DSC06096

I love this, not because it’s a great shot, but because it can show what Dublin can be like without so much traffic. Temple Bar by day does something similar, but besides the overspill from the taxi rank it’s really quite in here and you’re looking out at College Green.

Dublin Zoo, April 2009

After taking this shot in Dublin Zoo I was informed by one of my flickr contacts that a rhino had accidentally killed one of the zebras after a bit of play.

Dublin Zoo, April 2009

As if they are free? I don’t like zoos, I end up feeling sorry for the animals.  They should be on reserves where they have more room.

Messages

The writing is on the wall… no, that’s too punny, don’t write that. A lighthouse at Howth harbour.

the dogs

Dogs are so photogenic, or at least they are from a dog person’s view.

I have screenburn, or would have if…

Anyway, the amount of time I’ve spent on front of a PC in the last two weeks has not been fun by any stretch of the imagination. At one point I was telling my self ‘academic writing will make me hate other writing’, but that’s not going to happen.

Blogging will resume to somewhere normal levels next week (maybe even a blog questioning what is normal for this blog).
