I used to take my camera everywhere I went: work, shopping, walking the dog. Then I got fed up carrying it and have started to leave it at home when I think there's no chance of photo opportunities. Which means that in the past week, I've missed the chance to get pictures of two of the candidates standing in the Presidential election later this month. First, was the eloquent Joycean scholar Senator David Norris, facing controversies over letters he wrote seeking clemency for his former partner who was convicted of rape in an Israeli court, and then Dana, who first won the Eurovision Song Contest for Ireland as a schoolgirl in 1970. Of course, I would have had to have the courage to ask them if I could take a photo, so maybe I would have ended up shooting this puzzle after all. Yes, it remains a mystery..
