I first met Bernie in Pottinger’s Entry, Belfast, where she was taking a macro of a Carlsberg Special on some wet cobble stones. She was good enough to share her half bottle of Mundies with me and she got to telling me all about photography and how there’s just as much escapism in its imagery as there is in the demon plonk. So together, fuelled by the booze, we mugged another photographer who said he preferred Ipernity to Flickr and nicked his gear. Since then we have been snapping away happily, avoiding police cars. She has taught me so much about clouds and sheep never realising myself that they are the same thing in different jumpers. Thank you Bernie, you’re a star and you saved my life, now who could that be banging at my door…?

Bernies photos always illicit the same response from me. A big loud simple "WOW!". Bernie captures the face and soul Norn Iron in all it's moods, and her photos always make me feel homesick. Bernie should be paid a commission by EasyJet, Flybe, Stenna Line and Norse Irish Ferries, because every time I see her photos,… Read more

Bernies photos always illicit the same response from me. A big loud simple "WOW!". Bernie captures the face and soul Norn Iron in all it's moods, and her photos always make me feel homesick. Bernie should be paid a commission by EasyJet, Flybe, Stenna Line and Norse Irish Ferries, because every time I see her photos, I want to hop on a plane or boat and come home for a visit.

What can I say about Bernie that's not already been said. She's dead on (in otherwords, very very very friendly and nice!) and is very very witty. From her street photography and her ability to capture fellow moochers and the confidence that she has to walk up to a total stranger and ask if she can take their photo (… Read more

What can I say about Bernie that's not already been said. She's dead on (in otherwords, very very very friendly and nice!) and is very very witty. From her street photography and her ability to capture fellow moochers and the confidence that she has to walk up to a total stranger and ask if she can take their photo (which i wish i could do!!) to her countryside and derelict buildings you'll find a gem in this photostream wherever you look. I thank you for your friendship Bernie, your inspirational comments and support and remember to come down for that cuppa and lighthouse photospree!! Keep up the outstanding work that you do... and being the star that you are! Jx

Ahhh...Bernie. Bernie found my photostream, and has been nothing but supportive and funny and encouraging and a great friend on flickr ever since! Her "sheep in silhouette" series cracks me up every time I see it. (Really, check this stuff out, she must be a sheep whisperer because they're very cooperative for photos!)… Read more
