Danny
I spent six months with Danny , three times a week , sitting , walking , talking , Listening.He opened me to a world better served forgotten , Don’t open your eyes , always look to the sky , Because the people scrambling beneath might unsettle you . Over the six or so months I photgraphed Danny twice , the firsts being our baptismal Day together. Climbing over spent syringes , empty beer cans, human faeces And broken dreams , we sat on his blood stained , shitty mattress in an abandoned Hole off pearse street for two hours and talked. The next time I took my camera out was on my terms and I wanted to Bring him to the beach. Sandymount made perfect sense for me and it was Danny s first foray outside the city centre in eight years . We walked and talked again , But this time I let him transform , U2 were photographed on the same stretch of sand , Who do you think best represents Dublin ?.
