Jay Barden R.I.P.
A good friend to a lot of Waterford people (and I’m sure to even more outside of here) passed away Tuesday morning. I was lucky enough to work with Jay a couple of times, he was a proper character, always smiling and always up for the craic. A very, very talented musician who was never…

Behind the Visor
Back in April, I was lucky enough to have time to shoot some portraits of some of the drivers and staff of the Prodrift Super Series. When the majority of your work is based around the machine and not the man, it can be refreshing change of pace to shoot the men (and indeed women)…

Car Feature >> Alan Sinnotts WKD Imports SR-86
Originally seen on Speedhunters.com When Rod asked the staff to come up with an ’86 related feature for 86 Day, I admit I did have to spend some time considering what to shoot.
