Carrick On Suir and Clonmel, Co. Tipperary.
Each August, people gather at the Holy Year Cross overlooking Clonmel for the annual mass — a tradition that began in 1950, when the cross was first raised to mark the Catholic Church’s Holy Year.
The climb is steady, the atmosphere quiet but communal. Families make their way up together — some in prayer, others chatting, dogs in tow, and the occasional horse looking on from a distance. At the summit, the view opens wide over the valley, and the mass begins. A ritual carried by memory, habit, and faith — still alive on this hill.

Tipperary Indian Community hosted The Clonmel Summer Fest on Sunday, July 20. One of the many attractions was a Tug of War competition.
Tug of War is a serious competitive sport in India governed by the national Tug-War-Federation founded in 1958. Our local team Tug Warriors Clonmel, went all the way to a great final bringing a lot of joy and excitement to the festival attendees.

I had a great pleasure joining Martin Parr and fellow foundation members for a zoom photo award event on September 26th.
This year’s theme was ‘Humour Is Everywhere’ and my photo from a Clonmel Show (below) was selected by Martin as the 3rd place winner. I was excited to hear that Martin also liked other images in my gallery.

In my last blog post, I’ve shared a few photographs from my Hurling project shot back in 2013. The person who helped me with getting access to the events was Sean Nugent who was a Tipperary GAA’s chairman back then.
Fast forward to 2020. I join a local running group Premier Runners. A few weeks later the group joins a man called Eelco. Over many many kilometres of shared pain and laughter, we become really good friends.
End of 2022. We learn that Sean Nugent is Eelco’s father in law. I come up with an idea for a collaborative art project with Eelco’s daughter, Eve.
