There are a few events planned to go with the launch on 26/11.
Firstly – SinisterDexter has organized a photowalk to proceed the actual launch. From now onwards, this already epic walk shall be referered to as the “Hop, Skip & Click” photowalk! Details are as following:
This is being run in conjunction with the Boards Photobook Launch (which takes place in DCC that night, all are welcome).
This walk is open to everyone with a camera.
- You DON’T have to be going to the book launch.
- You DON’T have to have a photo in the book.
- You DON’T need to know what all the settings on your camera do (hell I don’t know half of mine, I just organise walks)
- You DON’T have to start at the start, just text me when you are in the city/nearby
Start Time: 1pm
Start Point: Top of Grafton St / Entrance to St. Stephens Green
Going to:
(through St. Stephens Green) Cuffe St
- St. Patrick’s Cathedral (daylight)
- Christchurch
- Temple Bar (street market on Sat) (stop in Porterhouse Bar Temple Bar for Lunch/dinner/rest)
- Central Bank
- Trinity St
- Dame Lane (should be getting dark by now 4:30ish)
- behind Dublin Castle (Chester Beatty Library)
- TBC
- St. Patricks Cathedral (night)
- stumble back to Against the Grain (6ish)
Against the Grain is a small bit down the street from the DCC.
The launch is at 8pm.
- If you have any suggestions for deviations then please message here or PM me on Boards.
- As said before – Everybody with a camera is welcome. You might want a Tripod for the dark/night part (but then you got to carry it throughout the day)
- For people new to this ‘Photowalk’ idea – it is always free (well mine always are)
- Tell me here that you will be along at some point so I can PM you my number, and PLEASE pm me back yours.
See you there!
The next little plan is the print exchange which is a very simple concept to raise further funding for Santa Strike Force. Here’s how it works: you bring a 5×7 print with you and donate €5 to our charity. In exchang, you bring home a print by one of your fellow photographers. It’s a win-win situation! (They may become famous ya know!)
And lastly, there will be a good auld raffle on the evening! One raffle ticket will set you back €2, but our recession-buster-pack will bring you 3 tickets for a fiver. A selection of the prizes as a little teaser: photography book, a printed canvas, digital photoframe, whisky, a spa voucher and many more!
