Last Week - This week

In an effort to keep the modern world tapping at the door, and the habit of procrastinating at arms reach, I've decided to start a new blog.
Last week - This week , a semi-regular note as to what I got up to photographically over the last week or 2. Similar to twitter but without the restriction of characters and with the inclusion of images.
In fact the more one thinks about it, the more it sounds like, well, a blog ! Interesting that ?

So as an inaugural This-week-last-week Blog. Here's a flavour of what I've been up to.
Hope it works.
J..

Last week: Lunar eclipse 16-19 June.
Managed to try some moon rise shots, have been contemplating this one a while, so as soon as I heard from both the news and a phone call from John, the procrastinating bit got a kick and I managed in the space of 3 seperate nights, to take some what I hope are decent images.
But, true to form, the images are taken - just not yet available...... I will, I will, get them processed....soon. (old film habits of anticipation definitely still in there) When I do - I'll insert some here.

This week: School fundraising. Again, as last week, 3 seperate outtings with camera
My kids go to the local Gaelscoill (School through the medium of the Irish language). Their 6th class (final year) students raised almost 1000 Euro toward the Irish Special Olympics team. Bravo and well done them. By 6th class is primary school... 6th year is secondary.
I was asked to take photo's for the school website of the presenting of the cheque. Happy to oblige.

Current school fundraising is toward the building of a new playground facility. To this end, a benefit concert was held, supported by the school band (An Banna Ceoil), An internationally acclaimed Irish band 'Kila' joined the kids on stage and then took the main stage to perform themselves. Kilas' music if you haven't heard of them, is excellent. Traditional Irish, with a modern rock yet hippy flavour (my words not theirs) Speaking of words, their lyrics are all through Irish also.
Anyway to cut the story, I was also asked to take the photographs at both the Banna ceoils rehersal, and then the main event. Happy out.
Images;



I'll come back to this post soon. I want to insert some more bookmarks in case you want to listen to Kila, buy their music (after all they gave of their time for free..) or feel inclined to help out with the school fundraising, or know more about the special Olympics

So that was the 2 weeks that were. Promise I'll insert the images soon.
