These pieces of glass sit on my desk. I use them as fidget items, just shuffling them in my hand when I need to concentrate. I collected them in Ireland last summer — left the family and trekked over a bridge to get a photo. Found the glass on the tidal shore of the Fertha Estuary in Cahersiveen, Kerry. The photo below was taken in the same spot. Happy St. Patrick’s Day.

Today was my studio’s open house, thank you to everyone who came by. The turn out was overwhelming and appreciated. Some came in dressing for the holiday. Ryder was dressed and ready to find Leprechauns, she even had a container to hold them when she did. Right after she left my friend and real-life Leprechaun Norm stopped by. It might have been best their paths did not cross. I was lucky to capture both on ‘film’ then let them both back into the wild.

For a third year, I was able to photograph WGBH’s A St. Patrick’s Day Celtic Sojourn at the Sanders’ Theatre in Cambridge, MA. A beautiful show start to finish; the talent from around the globe is incredible.  This year’s lineup included Brian O’Donovan, Keith Murphy, The Friel Sisters, Katie McNally & Neil Pearlman, Pascal Gemme & Yann Falquet, Lindsay O’Donovan and The Harney Academy of Irish Dance. To learn more check out their website, there is a Christmas and St. Patrick’s Day Sojourn every year.

Thanks to a recommendation from a friend, I was able to connect with the coordinators of WGBH’s A St. Patrick’s Day Celtic Sojourn and photograph this afternoon’s show at the Sanders Theatre in Cambridge. A beautiful show, in an incredible location, I was happy to be there to capture it.
