Haven't posted on here in ages. Some great additions.

Pineapple. Cracking stuff. I was asking through viewing your pic's 'Is there anywhere you didn't get to? Cracking global trek.

Sligoman. Excellent. Love the shots of Trnava's stadium. I love football stadiums but that stand is pretty incredible. Great upload.

Must upload some soon. Its been too long.

[DannyInvincible]

Just thought I'd stick up some art of mine that's received a bit of exposure of late. These are a series of three artistic photographs - titled 'Union' - I produced to comment on the current economic and political climate in Europe and the repercussions circumstances have had for the concepts of national sovereignty and identity:

https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/379280_3545690115548_1319953030_n.jpg

https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/547728_3545690835566_414403658_n.jpg

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/522871_3545691195575_2102716143_n.jpg

The work was selected for display (next to work by Banksy, Stella Vine, Gillian Wearing and Joseph Beuys) at NOISEfestival's 'Art of Protest' exhibition (http://www.mmu.ac.uk/news/news-items/1691/) in Manchester during the week and will be London-bound on Wednesday to coincide with the NUS demo against cuts (or so I'm told anyway), so pretty chuffed with that.

[DannyInvincible]

And the work exhibited:

https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/3717_4300508505536_1270295695_n.jpg

That's Banksy's 'Laugh Now' in the background. :)

(Oh, and the intention behind the desecration of the flags is not to insult the identities represented - one of which I proudly call my own - but rather to replicate in a satirical sense the degradation of national sovereignty/identity that has come with austerity/globalisation. Although, I'm confident the flag-related word-play should provide a clue as to my intentions.)

[DannyInvincible]

These were another series of artistic photos of Donegal's Laggan district (home to Donegal's Ulster-Scots community), Glenveagh and Kilmainham Jail that I edited using Photoshop and by superimposing text to comment on the legacy of conflict over land in Ireland, and especially Ulster.

The Laggan (3)

I think I've posted some of those before without the additional text, but I thought the text, which generally relates to what is depicted in a literal sense, would also add an extra dimension of metaphorical meaning to the eerie landscapes and scenes by unearthing the histories found within through allusions to notions of contested/shared space, competing narratives, "us"/"them", memory, power, ownership, tenure, inheritance, division, distrust, isolation, surveillance, imprisonment, paranoia, abandonment, betrayal, alienation, grievance and, dare I say, hope amongst others.

The work of Derry artist Willie Doherty was a significant influence.

[DannyInvincible]

[tetsujin1979]

I was at a friend's wedding last week in Argentina. I've taken a few panoramic shots with my phone, so I decided to take a quick shot of the street the wedding was on.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-q6qE50JSL6o/UMNdVJ_NvvI/AAAAAAAAIvE/Q9qHRzkh1js/s800/20121201_120706.jpg

About two hours later I reviewed the pic, and I had unknowingly taken a shot of the newlyweds kissing at the gate. A second earlier and everyone was standing around them, a second later and the kiss was over, so it really was a lucky shot. If I had planned it, it never would have looked as natural

Both bride and groom are delighted with it, and I've posted it here with their permission

[SkStu]

I can't see it Tets...
