Auschwitz Concentration Camp, Poland
Thousands of people have left their name and messages on the wall of the Auschwitz visitor centre.
Graffiti? Or an impromptu memorial?
A memorial mass was held in Ballyfermot on Saturday the 25th January 2025 to celebrate the Life of Tom Hyland from Le Fanu Road, Ballyfermot who was a human rights activist who campaigned for East Timor which was occupied by Indonesia from 1975. Tom’s Family was joined by President Michael D Higgins and his wife Sabina, The Sheils and the O’ Rourke families who were all great friends to the Hyland family over many years. Neighbours, friends, and many people from Ballyfermot. Also Joined by people that travelled from all over the world to be there. Fr Adrian Egan P.P of Our Lady of the Assumption Church celebrated the Mass.
Then back to the Civic Centre in Ballyfermot for a reception Joe Duffy who M.C for the evening and who was also involved with Tom when he started his campaign for East Timor in 1992. Many people spoke and sent video messages of Tom’s great work of many years.

One of my favorite opening sentences. Focused on the first sentence when I took the picture and then blurred the rest even more in LR, applied a clarity brush with sharpness and saturated the sentence to make it bolder and sharper. The warm light is all from LR edits (low exposure and added warmth).
It is a tradition for race fans to write messages on the road with chalk to encourage the racers. This one written near the finish line speaks poigantly for cancer survivors who have gained inspiration from Lance Armstrong.
The irony. For this photo, I found this sign and then added trash (which was right next to it) to depict people's unwillingness to do something so basic as to pick up their own trash. My edits consisted of increasing the exposure on the background and when I shot the photo, I used a low aperture in order to focus on the sign.
