Had a busy weekend, just gone. Car maintenance, visiting friends, cinema premiere, afternoon moseys in Dublin.....forgetting about The Match...
So, here's a brief extract from the list:
1. The new Muppets film is brilliant. Uproariously funny, universally appealing, unpretentious, and did I mention uproariously funny? Great to see the gang (+1 new muppet) back in action. And we saw a brilliant Pixar/Toy Story short too! A film for all ages.
2. The Queen of Tarts coffee/cake shop is still amazing. Yes, we've been in there before, but it's still refreshingly yummy in there. This weekend's conquests - Apple Crumble (and how did it crumble, perfect crunch, perfect apple), Victoria Sponge (a triple decker, bursting with berry goodness), Lavazza coffee and wonderful hot chocolate. Don't pass it, unless you're going to their other branch.
3. The Elephant and Castle is great for lunch. We'll have to go back to try the wings (everyone was having wings!), but our lamb pitta and elephantburger lunch was tasty, succulent, well presented and well priced. Again, we say.
4. It might be time to get some different shoes. In my rush to leave the house, I had a left and right from different pairs. Not dramatically different, but enough. Lesson learned.
Small few photographs taken, for a later time.
Till then!

DIT Graduate Photography Show 2011
http://www.ditgraduatephotography.com/
Just in from the official opening of this exhibition in the National Photography Archive and the Gallery of Photography in Meeting House Square, Temple Bar, Dublin. It's the annual final year/graduate showcase of the photography students at DIT, and I happen to know one of the photographers in this years class.
So, vested interest mentioned, I just had to give these guys a wee plug - if you are in the city, and have a passing interest in photography, it's worth a view. The photos are amazing, if you're like me you mightn't like them all but they are all high quality and evidence of a huge amount of work. Some are documentary, some are constructed images, some projects use double exposures, others use slides - the variety and imagination alone are impressive!
To reiterate, it's well worth a view - it's on in Temple Bar till June 26th. More details here, on their facebook page, and on their twitter feed, @ditphoto2011. Enjoy! And best of luck to the 23 exhibitors.
