Quartet . . .

I was first introduced to horse fairs in the west of Ireland by the late David Lang. The photographic draw of both characters and animals is magnetic. I enjoy speaking to those who attend and listening to how they manage their daily lives within a culture so far removed from most. My hope is to capture something of the essence of the traditional old fair, one that means so much to the community involved.

These two boys, standing in the street outside one of the fine pubs in Ennistymon, Ireland were only too happy to show off their horses.
