Liberties at six
Liberties at six. The cobbles are wet from the night's rain, and the first bakery light makes everything look like a film set. Shot on the 50mm.

A winter series from the Liberties in Dublin: early mornings on the cobbles, the bicycle repairer on his corner and the sign painter who gave the street one gold window.
The photographs were made on film, and the contact sheets were the first edit. The generative prints in the same show were built from the Liffey tide tables and cut to the frame by hand.

Contact sheets from the Liberties series. Circled the frames I'll print. Everything else goes in the box for next winter.

The Liberties show opens on Thursday. The frames are hung, and I've moved the middle one three times.

The sign painter on Thomas Street doing a new window. I wanted the gold to catch the morning light, and she said it would only last a week. It's still there.
