The poster at left is from my b&w photo exhibition documenting places associated with James Joyce

My article "James Joyce - an urban genius" reflecting on visits to  Zurich, Trieste and Paris.

I am interested in hard structural subjects - architecture, medieval towns, and especially modern architectural design. My current work is documenting sites where James Joyce lived and wrote in Paris, Zurich, and Trieste.

I print in my own darkroom. If you're looking for a professional lab I recommend Hetty's Darkroom in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin, awarded Lab of the year and Printer of the year.

"During a visit to Treviso in September 2001, the play of light - whether on the ancient stones of the city or on the waters of the Sile river, enchanted me. I enjoyed the tranquillity of the green oasis which surrounds this beautiful place. Also in Bilbao in Spain the noon-day sun revealed to me the magical forms of the Guggenheim Museum. I hope that these photographs of mine will convey a sense of the harmony and beauty of both subjects." It is thus that the Irish woman Megan O'Beirne, painter, art-photographer and poet presents her photographic exhibition of black and white photographs at the venue Arman in Via Manzoni. Testimony of her discriminating eye during her many travels is the breathtaking poetry of her simple subjects caught in the precious harmony of light and shade. It is evidenced in reflections - houses mirrored in the water- in multiple and split images - the shot of a street railings emphasised by their own shadow , in the depiction of little-used streets in an enchanted Treviso. Her capturing eye serves equally the monumental architectural rigour of the Guggenheim in crisp black and white abstract images.
