Day 23 – Dublin

An old school friend who has repatriated to Canada recently asked if I might have any quintessentially ‘Dublin’ shots that he could use to complete his apartment decorating project of ‘where I have lived’. When thinking about it, I realised that I really don’t. I haven’t shot the big Dublin landmarks really at all; I suppose because I take them for granted, presuming that I’ll always have the opportunity to shoot them…

This is a phenomenon quite often found in tourism, where people don’t visit local attractions because they could ‘whenever they pleased’. Luckily for me, my parents never bought into that, and so as a child, I was brought to many ‘tourist’ sites across the island – a truth for which I am eternally grateful.

But yes, I must really expand my ‘Dublin’ portfolio to more than just…
