Over the last few years I have been steadily building up my collection of Dublin street scenes. It is my intention to gather together a selection of these images to create a book.
As many of you who have been following my work will know, I am interested not only in visually documenting our time in this city, but also in how these buildings and streets came to be...in the layers of history beneath our feet, both grand and humble.
Viking Place
With this in mind, I’m putting a call out for people to send me on stories (300 words or so) of their streets and neighbourhoods, their heroes and vagabonds, the events that happened on their corners...the victories & defeats, the love stories & break ups, little vignettes that will help give my book a flavour of our lives in Dublin.
Viking Place
My hope is that, along with my images, these stories will work together to form a narrative of the city, and our time in it. After all, Dublin is made from more than just bricks and mortar...it is made of us.
The corner of Olaf Road & Sitric Place
Should you have a story that you think might be of interest, please send it on to dublinstreetstories@gmail.com
I’ll keep you all informed on progress here on my site. Many thanks.
