New – Covid-19 Restrictions in N. Ireland.
This evening, as Belfast and the rest of N. Ireland enter into local Government imposed Covid-19 restrictions, the people hold their breath for the second time this year – in the collective population’s attempts to manage the risk posed by Coronavirus in 2020.
In this the second cycle of restrictions, many many businesses needed to close their doors to the public at six o’ clock this evening. But, in the interim, some of the population were able to go about their business in a restrained manner – with face masks on – throughout the country, over a short and at times harsh summer period.
On the 19th of September, this film was recorded during a photoshoot in Belfast’s Botanic Gardens, of the Ferris Wheel installed there for a time before the summer ended for us all.

Derry / Londonderry Images
A small selection of images, taken from a short trip to #Derry #Londonderry this week.
Recently I have resumed a project containing travel photos, using manual settings again on my camera.
These images are sometimes abstract and focused on internal-external meaning.

May Noah rest in peace.
St. Malachy’s College
The whole College family mourns the tragic loss of our young Malachian, Noah Donohoe.
Noah embraced fully all aspects of school life. He was an active and prominent member of the Music Department, and as a talented young cellist, Noah was able to enhance the lives of his fellow performers and also many an audience. He was a natural leader who led by example. His caring nature, calm demeanour and big smile were some of his great gifts that helped others do their best. He was also a keen basketball and rugby player both in and out of school. He has been described as the perfect gentleman who was also able to show a genuine competitive spirit on the court. One of his teachers and coach said that Noah had a heart of a lion being able to express himself on the pitch, shouting, laughing and having fun with his friends whilst in class he was normally measured and modest.
In his short three years at St Malachy’s, Noah received much recognition and numerous awards for his contribution and dedication to College life. These include “The Spirit of the College Award”, full attendance, class prizes and UK Maths Challenge success.
The College has been blessed to have had such an outstanding student and person as a most valued member of our family, one who was already exhibiting the characteristics of a true Malachian, finding and doing his best by living our motto “Gloria ab intus”. We know that Noah was always immensely proud to represent the College and we benefitted greatly from his talents, presence, participation and warm personality.
We are all deeply saddened at Noah’s passing away, and we offer prayers for and support to his mother, Fiona, family members, friends and also his extended family – all of us associated with St Malachy’s College. Noah will always be a treasured member of our Malachian family.
May Noah rest in peace.

“On exhibit for seven days will be a body of work curated from (https://beyond-dialogue-and-silence.format.com/)*, responding to some of the places associated with the Northern Ireland ‘Troubles’, which officially began 50 years ago last year.
.
Composed of fourteen ‘scenes’ and divided into a series of seven; they derive from a wider body of image-making activity into key events in our collective History (www.kevindohertyart.com)*, within-which the Artist is essentially empathetic.
.
Exhibited in pairs, these images should help inform a wider narrative about Peace, not only expressing the individual Artists’ viewpoint, but by helping create a dialogue between the images and the viewer’s themselves.”

‘The Peace-Time Work’
My work has never been Political, but rather, at best i have used activism in a visual photographically sensitive way. A way to create dialogue and openness through the medium of photography. ‘Beyond Dialogue and Silence; towards a limitless future’ is my latest project.
