This photo was taken when poet William Butler Yeats was 58.
We have an ongoing exhibition celebrating the Life and Works of William Butler Yeats here in Dublin, but for those of you who are far, far away, it’s also online…

Artistic display of meat products from Irish Co-operative Meat Ltd., Waterford to tempt the palate in the run up to Christmas 1930. So we have sausages, black and white pudding (or maybe brawn?), and lard. The packaging on the lard proudly declares that it is "guaranteed perfectly pure" and "untouched by human hand". It cost 1/6.
(Virtual) 1lb. of sausages to anyone who can tell me the address for the meat factory in the 1930s, so I can add it to our Flickr map!

Pupils of Our Lady of Lourdes, Holy Faith school at Rosbercon, New Ross, Co. Wexford. Looks as if they were dressed up for a Nativity Play, but what the hell was the Wicked Witch of the West doing as part of the cast?

A while ago I ran into a box of old spaceships of mine in our cellar, I photographed a few of them and thought it would be nice to document them all while at it. I found a total of 11 spaceships (not including the numerous LEGO ships) in our house, most are my oldies, a couple of them belong to the kid. I shot all of them straight from the bow to capture their character.
After I had photographed them all I thought they’d look great in a poster, I added some trendy graphic noise to go with it. I think it turned out allright.
There’s an Avanaut Facebook page for those who like liking such things.
UPDATE (August 18): There’s a typo on the poster (Calactica instead of Galactica, bummer!), but I’m not going to fix it, as replacing the image would sever link between this and some of the pages it has been posted to. Maybe later. Also, I’m aware that the snowspeeder is not a "spaceship", but I thought it would pass just this once. And yes, the relative size of the ships varies, they’re not in the same scale, in my mind it just looked better this way.
