Padraig & Joan Kennelly’s images of Ireland: 1953–1973
Padraig Kennelly.

The camera celebrates its 170th birthday in 2009. To mark this occasion, the Kennelly family is making available its extensive collection of black & white photos which capture Irish people, towns, villages and scenic locations. From his earliest days as a photographer, Padraig Kennelly believed today’s photography is tomorrow’s history. His negatives were carefully stored and filed, in the belief that some day a system would be available to prolong the life of the images, and facilitate their easy retrieval. Half a century after he began taking photographs, digital imaging has made his hopes a reality.

Ireland’s Lighthouses
A Photo Essay
John Eagle.

The first time he saw Roche’s Point lighthouse marking Cork Harbour, John Eagle knew he was smitten. ‘Coming from an inland town, there was so much excitement in the sea,’ he explains, ‘and lighthouses encap-sulated all that.’ Lighthouses have played an important role on Ireland’s extensive and dramatic coastline since the fifth century, lighting the way for many a cargo and passenger ship while ensuring that those who made their living on the sea made it home safely. During a project that lasted over ten years, John made several daring boat and helicopter trips to capture unique images of these wind-swept, wave-lashed buildings. This book brings together these striking photographs with informative text on their details, locations and how to find them. Ireland’s Lighthouses is sure to delight all those fascinated by these isolated guardians of the coast.
