 Summerhill, Cork |  Limerick |  Bruff, Co. Limerick |
It is nearly six years since I started photographing and recording many of the different things that are on display in the public realm.
It started with Grottos; Republican Memorials; Roadside Memorials and Postboxes.
This list extended to Old Ads; Ghostsigns; Street Art; Wheel Guards and Jostle Stones; and, IHS tiles. Added to that would be old covers and gratings, bootscrapers ; and, even hoppers. And that does not end the list.
The task of creating a list/database of each of the items; uploading the photographs; and, plotting on a Google Map became more daunting and off-putting the larger the list.
DOT has a lovely expression – ‘There is only one way to eat an elephant – one bite at a time’.
I have adopted that for now and hope to update one Roadside Memorial; one Ghostsign; one Postbox; and, one piece of Street Art each day – starting today. The other groupings may need to wait until 2020.
I was never one for resolutions so this is not a resolution – just a means of eating my way to the end.
