I've been busy the last week selecting and printing photos for the Peoples Photography thing in Dublin at the end of the month. It's been an interesting challenge, not because I have so many great photos (I wish), but because sometimes what's important to me isn't what you would call "good". In the end I decided to use people's advice to a point and then to supplement with some photos which might not otherwise have seen the light of a printer. Once the dust settles, I'll list the photos I used here.

In the meantime, here's a shot that did make the selection even though I'd never shown it to anyone. I really liked this red door and the flowers. I took it while visiting Errigal in Donegal a few weeks back. It was the classic "Look at the view" moment, except I was pointing the other way taking photos of a door...

Still, I like the colours.

I like the colours too. I don't like the perspective though, but I'm not sure why.

Of the dozen or so I took, I actually liked the perspective of this one. But it might be a case of I know the door is up high so the perspective makes sense to me.

Remind me to show you the print outs for this one. they are quite different.

If my Gran was right, they've hung their horseshoe upside down and are letting all the luck fall out of it.

I like the pic - it's got a traditional Irish postcard feel about it.

I think your gran is right. That's what I'd heard too!
