This is probably the picture that started it off.
I used to spend a lot of time walking in Howth County Dublin and could always see this thing sticking up out of the water. I think it’s gone now – I haven’t seen it in ages and ages. I think it’s the remnants of a trawler that ran aground years and years ago.
The photograph is an old one – I think I took it about 6 years ago and for a long time, it was one of my favourites. I like the reflections quite a lot.It was take with a film camera and lately scanned. For me it’s amazing how much noise you can see in film photographs now – they tend to be a good bit softer than some of the digital stuff. I don’t know if that’s really good or not.
Anyway, when I started the project, I especially want this to go into it.
Hey there!
Great site and great idea- close to where you took this picture there is a boat yard with a good few abandoned boats up on trolleys- if you head down towards the beach take your first right and follow the little grassy patch till you come to a wall and follow around- you should be able to see a few there! Best of luck!
