on the street

 
I have been photographing irish markets since the late 80s and always recorded some version of the JFK portrait that would be placed on various stalls, his saintly image often framed with an image of pope pius. There was something aspirational about venerating this american particularly in the late 80s and early 90s when emigration was almost compulsory. I don' t see that image in markets any more.

Hi Dan,
If you have a mix you can drop it into me any Friday night (I'm playing there those nights). Then we can talk about getting you a gig.
