Bob Dixon Photography 13 March 2018 Dear Bob and everyone who took part in the raffle, Thank you so much for donating your fantastic art piece of Glen Hansard’s guitar and all the hard work that went into organising the raffle. Thank you also to AM Frames for donating the cost of framing the piece. And finally thank you to all those who purchased a ticket and made this fundraiser so successful. During the winter months, families struggling to make ends meet face their toughest time of year. But because of your kind total donation of € 1,010.00 to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, you will be there to lighten their load. You will be there to put hot dinner on the table, as everyone comes in out of the cold. You will be there to fill the house with fuel, and keep the home warm until spring. You will be there to pay for winter coats and bus fares, and help the children get to school. You will be there in so many little ways that keep a family from tipping into poverty. May every happiness be yours in return for this good you have done. With all my gratitude and blessings, Kieran Stafford National President, The Society of St Vincent de Paul Few photos from the beautiful Join me in the pines concert at the Seamus Ennis centre in the Naul on the first night of the tour.

I was lucky enough to be commissioned by my long time friend Eoghan mac Sheain who I had worked with on his previous band Shadowplay over the years. Eoghan was in the process of recording a upcoming EP and we did a number of shoots over the weekend in stunning Donegal in his studio and where they were recording. To be able to record this process..document the forming a new venture was a beautiful thing and a pleasure to be involved in .

I got the idea for this piece after seeing a photo Neil Leifer took looking down on a boxing ring as Ali knocked out Sonny Liston in 1965..one shot and it captures the finish of the fight. With the help of Greg and Jimmy at Savage lighting and gaining access to the Captail One Mauy Thai event in Citywest through Martin Horgan. I attached a GoPro to a pole above the ring as high as the area would allow and shot footage of this fighters in mid fight..allowing you to become part of the fight..see the hits and misses. Thanks again to all that helped out and looking forward to trying this again soon.

The second part of my collection on the arts working with artist Kevin Bohan as he layers his canvas of brick with colours and imagination. I want to viewer to be able to smell the cans of paint as he applied it, thanks to Kevin for allowing me into this world and for the insight he gave me into art.

The first of a series of pieces I am doing working with artists as they craft their world of colour and imagination. I use a medium that takes seconds..these works of art can take hours,days or a life time to complete. I'd like to thank Nina for allowing me and you into her "World of Colour" which is a sacred place for artists at work and balance.

Delighted to make the front page of a local paper who did a piece on the recent photo exhibition in Ballymuns Axis centre..well done to all involved and to my mate Ruth Barry for posing with a photo I shot of her and her daughter Louise! Memories made in the ‘Mun Monday, 20th February, 2017 7:00pm Story by Jack Gleeson A BRILLIANT exhibition of photographs and words at Axis in Ballymun brought back many memories for locals earlier this month. ‘The Mun’ exhibition celebrated the first 50 years of Ballymun and was made up mainly of photos contributed by local residents, both past and present. Last year marked the 50th anniversary of the first residents moving to Ballymun and it was celebrated with many events including a birthday bash on the Plaza as well as Throwback Thursday and Campervan Sessions. To round off the year, all those who have lived or worked in Ballymun over its half century were invited to be part of an exhibition showcasing local families, friends and magical memories. The Mun is a collection of the photographs contributed as well as stories from participants of the Ballymun Adult Read and Write scheme. Among the memories shared were the making of the 2002 movie ‘Bloody Sunday’, when Ballymun was used to recreate Derry. Also included at the event were old newspaper articles and maps and photos of Ballymun before and after the regeneration. Photographer Jim Leonard, who curated the photos for the exhibition, expressed his delight at being invited to be part of the historic exhibition. “I was honoured to be asked to curate the photography part of this exhibition which houses submissions from regular contributors here which include Michael Keating, Nollaig Kelly, Seamus Kelly, Bob Dixon, Peter O'Doherty and Mary O Connor amongst other Ballymunners and includes photographic memories in black and white and colour stretching back to the 1960s,” he said. Jim also thanked Leigh Hussey, Mark O'Brien and all at Axis Ballymun, with support from Dublin City Council. |
