THE CITY
“One sure way to discover a place is to find people who live and work there. Place has an objective reality, but it is also a construct of the imagination, and the photographs that Power takes, saturated with colour, the light carefully orchestrated, are both a documentary record of pockets of contemporary Limerick as it is inhabited today. She is adept at making the familiar unfamiliar, disorientating us, inspiring us……it appears that the relationship between the past and the present is neither, straightforward or easy” Judith Hill
I will be walking as long as it doesn't rain to counteract the lack of exercise, so I may see you again.

Docklands: Painter Brian McMahon , actor, walker, observer, documenter of the everyday. The city docks presents challenges in all its chaos . Live at the Docklands, an annual music event presents a stage at interplay and Brian is the actor within the space, through his lens of action onto canvas.
I have been photographing Brian since 2005 on the street of his city of Limerick.
