I just finished my first photojournalism project for my photography class in college. I wanted to show the discrepancy between the east and west sides of the river Liffey in Dublin. The photos are up on Flickr in a set entitled “Docklands photo-journalism”. Go have a look-see and tell me what you think :)

I just bought one of the last copies of the first print runs of Where Were You, a photographic book, documenting Dublin street fashion and youth culture from 1950 – 1990. This is the accumulation of 10 years of work by Gerry O’Niell and is well worth a look. There’s 800 photographs in the book and an introduction to each section. It’s available in the Gallery of Photography and other shops

Here is a draft of our interview questions for one of our ENGs, this one is with Suzanne as she is working on a patient.

Sample interview questions:
With Suzanne:
-What are you doing?
-How long has she been practicing massage for?
-Ask her about success stories
-Has she noticed an upsurge in patients since the recession?

With patient:
-What are they suffering from?
-Why the choice of alternative medicine?
-How effective is it?
-How cost effective is it?

We changed our idea to focus on an acupuncturist and Suzanne as a Yoga Master. Suzanne has a website:

I conducted research into acupunture. Here’s a link to the Acupuncture Council of Ireland’s website: http://www.tcmci.ie/

We decided on doing alternative medicine for our program. Seyi wrote a proposal on the topic. We have two contacts that we are going to interview in our program. Suzanne Mahon (a Yoga Master) and Gordon Daly (a GP). We drew up a list of sample interview questions for Suzanne. We decided that we would base our ENG on an interview with her and our in-studio piece would also be an interview with her and one of her client.
