Guinness Storehouse Photowalk

Marcus Mac Innes from the Irish photo-sharing site Pix.ie and Lisa Fitzsimons from Guinness very kindly invited a group of Pix.ie users to the Guinness Storehouse in St. James’s Gate for an out-of-hours ramble around the museum to take photos. It was a fantastic day and the photographs that have been coming in to the group pool are brilliant. You can go here to have a look through them. There is a comptetition running right now to find the best photographs of the Brewery and it’s free for anyone to enter.

I really enjoyed the older parts of the building and the views of Dublin were very atmospheric thanks to yet another rainy summer day. It left me thinking of what other Dublin landmarks I’d love to have free reign to wander and photograph in: Kilmainham Jail, The Gaiety Theatre, Trinity, Christchurch, Collins Barracks…

    Lovely stuff… Was really looking forward to the event but having had a wedding on the Friday, I couldn’t bring myself to get up at 4:30am to drive to Dublin :(

    I’m still moving along with the intended Clerkenwell exhibition. Would you still consider exhibiting? I love this latest work as much as the rest of your stuff. More later. Tim

    Into irregular distances I look here by and read the always interesting and well written contributions in this blog. Here I would like to leave once a greeting from Thuringia in Germany!

    Love the last one. I couldn’t drag my bottom out of bed on Saturday to go. I have never been to Guinness – i will have to pay it a visit soon.

    @Lottie, I nearly didn’t make it myself since I don’t usually function earlier than 9am but I’m glad I did! You’ll have to come along to the next one.

    I love the texture of the window ones, the inside, the frame, what’s framed, the light. Lovely!

    I saw the thumbnail of the bottles & found a gallery of fantastic photos in one post! I don’t know how you do it. Each one a beauty of it’s own. Stunning.
