The most recent series of my work using this medium has been to document the buildings of Cork as monuments, using a pin hole camera with a wide angle format to reproduce the perspective the building has when we stand near to it. This process also isolates the building from it’s surroundings and enhances it’s quality as a monument.

As well as photographing buildings that would be expected to fulfil the status of monument, (Cork City’s Courthouse and the County Hall), I have also chosen buildings which are under construction, including the cranes, scaffolding and other construction apparatus which is part of our ever developing city landscape.

From the resulting negative I make a positive print, which with the aid of modern digital technology can be enlarged and printed as a lamda print, which can then be mounted on a variety of media.
