Gave a talk last evening to Limerick Camera Club. Very receptive audience and great hospitality from them so big thanks. Enjoyed doing the talk. Putting presentations together like that is always interesting as it makes you stop and think about things you do, rather than the usual ploughing ahead as per the norm.

I was Chairman of the club a couple of years back and so it was great to see some of the old faces, but also many new showing how the club has developed and grown in the past few years.

I was delighted to find out on Saturday that I had been awarded a Bronze award at the 2009 Federation of European Professional Photographers for the image that won me Best Commercial Image at the IPPA awards last January. This is a judging of work of the highest standard in Europe and to say I was thrilled to even be in the same list as some of the true greats in photography, would be an understatement.

This years IPPA awards, the best of Irelands photography, is on in 2 weeks time. I have entries in a number of categories, both single image and portfolio awards. So fingers crossed!!
