Thread: I don’t have the time to take as many photographs as I used to. It was one of life’s pleasures taking a wander through Dublin & then meeting up with my friend. He’s no longer with us, so I thought I’d dedicate the images of the city to him, a true Dub.

Some give directions by churches & others by pubs. Street names are a nebulous matter in the town at the ford of the hurdles. Each thoroughfare had at least two.

Capel St Bridge, once called Essex Bridge & now Grattan Bridge was where Brian & I would plan an evening as we watched the sun set on the Liffey. Long shadows & memories.

For years I’d stalk the streets capturing fleeting moments or shadows. A promise of a Guinness or two with my drinking buddy lightening my step as evening rolled in from the East.

Some meet under the Happy Ring, others at home & then head out. The Long Hall was a regular meeting place - one of the few relicts of old decency. Here art nouveau glass glows, Phil Lynott sang & conversations embrace.

I don’t take as many photos as I spend most of my time on my art. Dublin, history, emotion & empathy play a large part. Sometimes I’d bring in a folder & Brian would make comments to help. Here’s some I know he’d like: https://mobile.twitter.com/RobertBohan/status/1294544080970678273 https://twitter.com/robertbohan/status/1294544080970678273
