My journey continues. Fortunately, it has stopped raining. It’s still cloudy, but the day looks good
My next stop is Murlog and McCormick’s second oldest church after Milford. Built between 1962-64 and altered in 1994, truly large scale, built on a polygonal cruciform plan St. Patrick’s Church.
Impressive structure as…

It started to rain again when I was still in front of Donoughmore Presbyterian Church in Liscooley. I quickly run to the car and slowly moved towards Milford - My next location.
After about 45 minutes I noticed a characteristic hexagonal tower emerging from between the buildings. It was St…

It was St Conal’s Church in Glenties and St Michael’s Church in Creeslough. Here is the link to the blog post I wrote back then: ‘Liam…

Travelling around Ireland makes me more and more aware of how important it is to preserve historical values. Whether it is architecture, landscape or anything else related to our surroundings and culture. I am pointing Ireland here as this is my home for almost two decades now and I do…

The older I get, the more I am tired of living in the city. I am looking more and more for isolation, peace and space
Having lived in Ireland for almost two decades, I never had the time to fully experience the beauty of this little island. That changed a…

Enchanted by the light
2021-04-18 10:18:00 UTC
I have been walking the streets of Dublin photographing architecture for well over a decade. I was not aware that there is still something that could surprise me. Especially when it comes to places that I visit regularly. However, all you need is the right light and the familiar space…

Waiting for Dawn - first vision…

Dusk is falling. The streets are getting empty. Only a few figures slip through the concrete maze. In the distance, you can hear the last murmurs of the day. The city is falling asleep…

Intrepid 4x5 Mk 4 camera - new adventure
2020-10-16 17:47:10 UTC
It took me only two years to get back to large format photography. And I mean here - camera with the lens as I am continually using my incredible pinhole cameras with perspective correction (4x5 and 8x10).

Liam McCormick and sacral architecture
2020-08-23 14:21:05 UTC
I just spent a week in Donegal, the most incredible part of Ireland. Every year I try to spend some time travelling around the country and I am always amazed at how beautiful it is. The landscape here is unreal.
But Ireland is not just a landscape. It’s also beautiful…
