“Gratias ago tibi domine quia fui in hoc mundo*“

Omiš is a town in Dalmatia, Croatia, where the mouth of the Cetina meets the Adriatic – Its a stunning town with fantastic buildings and people – unfortunately 3 days was just too short a time, and my reason for being there was not photography so my shots were limited – but i will go back to Dalmatia

Thanks has to go to Stefan at Rafting Pinta who looked after us all there including a day out on the river Cetina which really has to be seen to be believed.

So I have been sent to Poole for a couple of weeks with work, and I have to say there are certainly worse places to be sent – Kite Surfers out the front of the hotel when i get back from work till the sun goes down, fireworks on the quay every thursday and a boat cruise around Poole Harbour… and I have been working too

I do have a few photos of a kitesurfer at Sandbanks in Poole – but can’t upload the full gallery just yet – i think these are the best 2 though

Well its been up a while and I did mail it to a few that I thought might be interested, but Manchester Evening News were the only ones to make mention of it, and they did a great job of it as well. Yup, my post from last week on ‘the c-word’ in Manchester got a bit more attention first from the MEN and then the BBC – and very amusing it all is as well – red faces all round I think.

Edited to add, Daily Mail have picked up the story

MEN blogs have picked up and discussed the article bringing a few different points to the table:

1) on the future of journalism and the role of bloggers

2) And on the use of stock photos

- interesting commment from both

This is the first time I have ever photographed GAA and I’m not sure why it has taken me so long because my first experience of it is that it is even better than soccer to photograph, players holding the ball longer and close proximity of the players to the ball make for good shots in my estimation, and GAA football looks to have plenty of that – think i’ll do this again

As for the game, Liverpool based John Mitchells (blue and yellow) were the favourites before the game and certainly looked the stronger side but some poor misses in front of goal and hitting the post some 4 times allowed a St Ann’s of Stretford (all blue) a glimmer of hope, particularly with a strong showing early in the second half – it wasn’t to be however as John Mitchells ended up winners by (I think) 4 points

If anyone from either club is reading this, I would be very grateful if you could point me in the direction of a fixture list – much appreciated
