  1. No Ball Games

    2023-11-20 17:45:36 UTC

    While browsing through files on old hard drives, I came across photographs I created in 2010, 2013 and 2015. Some are part of my ‘Unfulfilled Dreams’ project, some were never published. These are photographs commemorating an important place in Dublin that had great significance both in architectural and sociological terms.Ballymun…

    2022-07-20 16:12:07 UTC

    This is the third and final blog entry presenting photographs of St Patrick’s Campus, DCU.  Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Chapel, designed in 1964 - probably the most recognisable building in the area. Beautiful floating structure with stunning details and impressive stained glass windows.  I highly recommend checking ‘More than…

  3. St. Patrick’s Campus, DCU by Andy Devane - part 1

    2022-07-13 18:48:30 UTC

    After a really busy few weeks, I am slowly getting back online (at least for now) presenting some photographs I was working on lately for both - my commercial and also a personal portfolio.  I will start here with my personal collection, with photographs that complement the cycle of works…

  4. Maybe it’s just nostalgia…

    2021-10-11 16:54:21 UTC

    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…

  5. 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…

  6. Large format 8x10

    2020-07-18 16:33:00 UTC

    Writing of this post will be stretched in time - a form of a short diary.  I am starting on Saturday morning on the 11th of July, and I can’t wait until the next week to tell you what I feel today… And I am amazed. My visual perception of…

    2020-07-03 22:31:11 UTC

    For the first time this year, I didn't write my Saturday blog for two weeks in a row. Good to be back after this unexpected break.  The restrictions have been loosened a bit so it would seem that it will be easier to reach certain places. Not necessarily. Several areas…

  8. Power plants

    2020-06-12 20:18:03 UTC

    There are places that you can’t always enter, let alone photograph. Places that are often fascinating and full of magic. This fascination can be based on various premises. In my case, it is the form of the subject, its purpose and historical aspect.  Industrial facilities right after modernist architecture are…

    Walking down Dominick Street Upper, at some point, a fascinating and unique structure emerges. A four-story, white rendered block with horizontal glazing, flat roof and tall lift tower. It’s Hendrons former Showroom. Then, along the Palmerston Place stretches the further part, workshops © Artur Sikora Hendrons Brothers, founded in 1911,…

  10. Towers (return)

    2020-01-31 19:15:52 UTC

    In below post I am presenting more visual content based on material recorded a few years ago, photographs I already published on my social media channels but not in the form of the entirety My neighbourhood, Docklands area is constantly changing. It’s like a pot of bubbling boiling soup. Now…

  11. Lensless photography

    2020-01-25 00:01:08 UTC

    A lens-camera is a great, usually very precise creative tool that helps you express yourself visually. Pinhole camera however it’s a completely different story.  Here you have to rely on your intuition. Except for obvious pre-visualisation in case of emulsion-based materials and analogue photography, you have to 'guess' the scene/frame…

  12. Changes…

    2020-01-05 09:06:00 UTC

    After a few weeks of thinking about it, I decided to continue blogging within my website instead of blogger.com I was using for the last 10 years now.  No, I am not deleting my old blog. It is still there and will remain but time has come for some changes.…
