Have been lucky so many times in life to have experienced the good, the really good and, the not so good, at various times, in the many and various locations and countries around the world.

Originally born and raised in Ireland and fortunate enough to have had parents who knew a good education was vital for anyone to succeed in this world and pushed me on to always do my best at whatever it might be ....

Once a keen athlete and all round sportsman involved in many sports - the more physically challenging the better - still very interested in sport but now from a different perspective - Sports media photographer, sometimes partaking on an event organising committee or partaking in some 'official' capacity at a sporting event and of course from time to time as a spectator too.

Passionate about all aspects of photography - I just love it and can't get enough of it - I am out daily with a camera always at hand .. I have a little female chocolate Labrador dog who keeps me busy and on my toes - we walk the local beaches, forests and mountain trails daily no matter what the weather throws at us and, in Ireland that can be the four seasons all rolled into one day ... and at times, five days a week or longer !!!

Please look and enjoy some of the photos I post here on FLICKr ...or on my Facebook page - I also have a website - www.mournepics.com - I mention these because its not always possible or practicable to keep updating photos on a daily basis everywhere ... it's very time consuming as am sure you already know... and so, if you have time, maybe you can check out the other sites and see how they compare ...

Thank you for looking and please do not hesitate to contact me or to 'like' my photos - I still work on a semi professional freelance basis and take commissions as and when they come along ... if you would like me to come take photos for you please let me know - no job too small no distance too far 😁😁👍🐕
