Sunny Saturday

Another Saturday in Belfast and the sun came out.

These photographs are of a Right to Food Rally at the City Hall on 23rd September. The rally was to mark Right to Food Week and joined campaigners in London and Liverpool.

The event was organised by Foodstock founder, SDLP Councillor, Paul Doherty.

Photography is about the light. Imagine these photographs on an overcast day, without the backlight and shadows. They simply wouldn’t have the same impact.

The difficulty is capturing surprise on film

Women Demand Better rally, Belfast, Northern Ireland

The title is a quote from F. Murray Abraham.

This image is from a Women Demand Better protest rally in Belfast on 29 October. Everyone seemed in good spirits although it was one of those miserable rain all day days with rain interspersed with periods of light drizzle. The days you don’t realise how wet you got until you get back to the car or go in for a cup of coffee and find you’re sitting in a pool of water.

Vaccine Passports 2

No march this week but a rally at City Hall.

Attracting a crowd of a few hundred and becoming a weekly event this, obviously, is important to a lot of people.

I waited until I got different placards framed by the two guys standing in front of me.
