The other Ireland. Abandoned gas station


I love abandoned places. They are full of untold stories and waiting for a camera to immortalize them before disappearing for ever. Like this old gas station on the road to Bushmills, Northern Ireland. I waited the all day in order to get a decent light. After self developing the film with the C41 process and seeing the result, I could see that the wait was well worth it.

Brave sea at Giant's Causeway.


The Giant's Causeway is a coastal area made of basalt columns which resulted after an ancient volcanic explosion. It is placed in county Antrim, Northern Ireland, and, according to the legend, the columns are the remains of a causeway built by a giant. The dark tone of the stones and the foamy sea made it perfect for a contrasty black a white photo. Getting soaked was worth it!
