On Saturday I attended my first Flickr meet up in Belfast. It was really good banter to meet up with other photographers and take a walk around the city, then get a tour of the newly renovated and reopened Ulster Hall. Unfortunately there was an event on in the Ulster Hall on Saturday evening, so the blinds were down and there was lots of dry ice and light testing going on, nevertheless I had a good day and got a few good shots anyway. I think my favourite photo from the day was inside St. Anne’s Cathedral, again I’ve been playing with texture overlays…

Here are a couple more…

I’ve been waiting for ages to see Death Cab For Cutie live, tonight they played St. Georges Market, Belfast, and it was a pretty good night… The sound was a bit messed up at the start, and had some technical issues, and some idiot threw a bottle and hit Ben Gibbard in the face… what an idiot… but it put him in a bad mood for the rest of the gig… but it was still good to see them live… I hope they come back and play the Ulster Hall when it reopens…

I just realised that I haven’t posted since last thursday, I’ven been meaning to, just haven’t got around to it. I will continue me Cities I Like posts either tomorrow or at the weekend…

I’ve had a really busy week, with lots going on… Last weekend I spent up at the Uni of Ulster in Coleraine, for MAD10, a youth weekend run by PCI, I was helping out with the technical side of things for the weekend, its my 3rd year doing it and I love it, its always a great weekend with lots of yound people coming from all over Ireland to meet together, it was also cool to meet paul and ruth in the real world for a change.

After MAD I was lucky enough to catch Snow Patrol at an intimate gig of a few hunderd people in The Empire in Belfast. Having heard ‘Take back the city’ ad not really liking it I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I have to say the new material sounds pretty good, I haven’t got the album yet though, will get it this week. They played both new and older songs, it was a pretty good night…

I actually saw Lorraine quite a bit this week, which was really nice, normally I will only see her once during the week, but it was her 21st birthday yesterday, so we were out for a meal with friends on Monday night, then out for a meal with her family last night… both meals were pretty nice, and ti was great to celebrate with her… Happy 21st Birthday (for yesterday) Lorraine!!

I’m gonna be pretty busy the next few days, with uni, work, photoshoots and gigs, so either expect a lot of posts, or not very many at all…
