I won't be able to make it Peoples Photography this year as I'm going to one of my best friend's wedding in Sligo for the weekend

Just wanted to wish everyone the best of luck!

Marcus

It's a fair swap. You have a good time
in Sligo and I'll have a good time in Dublin!

I haven't had occasion to drive around St Stephen's Green for ages (not since the Luas went in anyway). Is there still parking on the Green and if not, where do you recommend to avoid lugging stuff too far on Saturday?

Thanks

Paulw

There is some parking on the green. Best advice - GET THERE EARLY, and get your parking space.

dakar

Thanks Paul. I figured I'd need to be up early alright.

decsramble

Yup there is parking though I dont know how long you are allowed to park or how much it costs. I was going to drive in as well but the car is giving trouble so it's gotta stay home I fear.

trooney

There's spaces right in front of the boardsies spots alright, but yeah, get there early.

decsramble

If anyone gets there early and the slots havent been clearly marked dont pick your spot based on the faded chalk numbers from last week. I looked at it yesterday and the numbers start from the opposite end of the green to the ones peoples photo start at. It would be a pain to set up and then have to move again

positivenote

okay chaps, going in tomorrow, will have ten A4 framed prints and im gonna print off another 5 or 6 5" X 7" today.
what time should we be in there at to get set up and settled? oh yeah and how will we know where our specific allocation starts and ends... are there markings?

sorry chaps also meant to ask, does anyone know where to get that clear plastic sheet type covering that will protect your alloted space from the rain?
thanks

Solarina

ditto Q about knowing exactly where your slot is? My luck means I will definately set up in the wrong place or something...

Last year I went to Woodies & bought a couple of plastic Drop Sheets they use for painting. They were very cheap & covered the display when it rained.

It WILL NOT RAIN this year ........ please. Can everybody do the 'not the' rain dance

positivenote

guys just to reask, sorry, but if i got there for 10.30 would it be a bit late? i can get a lift in then or get the train and be in for a around 9ish?

CabanSail

They start to reallocate spots at 10am.

I would leave your Mobile # with someone so that you can be contacted to confirm that you will be there soon.

You do NOT want to see my No Rain Dance.

It involves Nudity & a Chicken.

Thanks for that, I reckon I'll aim to be there early enough, get set up, and if there's a time restriction on parking, I'm sure someone will keep an eye on my prints whilst I go off and park somewhere else.




And Cabansail, thanks so much for that image. Fortunately I had finished the chicken salad I had for lunch before I read that!:D

Borderfox

I will be shooting Wedding Formals in the Green tommorrow afternoon so I will be sure to look out for you all best of luck

Re: Parking - I think it's €2.90 per hour on the green & there's a 3-hour restriction. On sunday they only charge for a few hours though (12-4, I think).

The spaces will have numbers written in chalk on them so it should be clear, hopefully...

And we though you ausies got your kicks from sheep sheerin'. Turns out some of you boys from down under also like chickens. Oooooh the thought. I can feel that snack box doing strange things .....

kjt

I'm pretty sure parking is free on Sunday. Just putting it out there..... but 'some' people don't pay for parking and once a van comes around they jump up and go to the parking meter. It's terrible, I know. Who would do such a thing.

WooHoo, prints done last night, just back from the North with my mounts. Time to have breakfast and get mounting!

Glenn, Don't worry about your spot. I'll keep it till 11 no probs

peter1892

More parking info:

http://www.dublincity.ie/RoadsandTraffic/Parking/Pages/PayandDisplay.aspx

There is free parking on sunday in various parts of the city centre, but iirc not on the green itself.

..... but 'some' people don't pay for parking and once a van comes around they jump up and go to the parking meter. It's terrible, I know. Who would do such a thing.

Yeah, there are even some people who would keep sketch in case the feds come around clamp people. No-one I know of course, honest.

decsramble

Hmm, considering I cant drive in tomorrow (bus is easy so not a hassle) the evil side of me wonders how much will you all pay me not to turn states evidence and turn you all into the feds, muhahahahaha

Anyone seen the Arts weekends when someone parks a camper van on the corner. If that doesnt get towed I'd guess cars should be safe. I suppose the difference between artists and photographers is we can settle for a take out cup of coffee from insomnia, they need a warm cup of tea from a caravan

PCPhoto

sorry - couldnt make it .... got a call and had to goto work.

AnCatDubh

Hope ye had fun! Good luck tomorrow.

I have a few, but they're raw and the lappy's burried in the car under all the stuff for displaying ... Your calling in to say hello ?

Great meeting you Keith. Nice to put a face to the handle.

positivenote

good day guys, glad to meet some of you and hopefully i wasn't the only one who sold something... even if it was only a 5"x7" print for a fiver

good luck tomorrow guys

Solarina

lovely to meet loads of you! Had a great time hovering and spying and eavesdropping the exhibits, was just a deadly weekend all round- absolutely shattered now though!

Afraid not. Too much family orientated stuff/visiting/oul fella's birthday/getting kids stuff ready for school/etc... to attend to.

Hope ye all had fun.

peter1892

A good weekend despite the less than perfect weather today. I even got a sale: http://www.flickr.com/photos/peter1892/2061484229/

A big thank you to all those involved in organising the event, see you next year

kjt

Cracking day/weekend guys, I had a freggin' blast!!
Thanks!

sineadw

you see - the buyers were there - they just weren't in corporeal form..*

*that's my excuse

Edit: I had a brilliant time too Roll on next year!

-Chris-

Don't worry, I'm sure you haven't seen the last of the buyers.

Myself and my wife were there checking out the photos, and we've picked two that we'll buy in large format when we move into our new gaff in a few weeks. No point in purchasing before then, but we have the photog's details so we can contact when we actually have somewhere to put the prints.

Fair play to all involved!

humberklog

Such good fun. Great to get out and do stuff.
Shifted just over 150 prints which is very exciting indeed.

kjt

Awesome shot Sinead, they turned out sweet!

I thought it was only 130 Neil, still can't believe you shifted that many!
I'd say the most of anybody from the beginning of this event!

Buzz Lightyear

Thanks everybody for making such a great weekend. It was great meeting everybody who called by to say hello. You helped to make it a fabulous weekend.

A big welcome to our newest boardsie Nebezpeci Mys who sold some work after great persuasion by the rest of us to display her work.

An amazing well done to Humberklog who shifted the most photos of anybody on the green. His work is now going workdwide.

Finally a big thank you to Mr Tunney who done very well in 'shifting'. Without his efforts we'd probably be at home all weekend long.

:D:D Great weekend.

Fabulous shot Sinead - well done.

humberklog

Great shot Sinead.
Kj you're right!! 75 yesterday and 48 until the pub, where I dumped another 4 or 5 on that american lady. About 130, still good feeling.


Big thanks to Kyle for being so pro-active and infectious with it.

kjt

I was joking about the 130!! 130/150, who's to quibble? Once you get past 2 it's impressive, but 100+? I'm just amazed you got them all reprinted so quickly! Next year you might want to get 2 stalls, one for your exhibit and one for the queue of people

The mans been there, worn the teeshirt on a bareback horse and back. He's a legand.

HK after +10 prints you blew everybody away. We couldn't compete.;)

humberklog

It's how you go about it, nothing to do with content (thankfully!!).:pac::pac::pac:

I can imagine more doing the same next year, it's the way forward.


Of course it was great to see and meet all those exhibiting but a big heads up to those that came to browse and said hello...p and b, oshead, xia, covey etc.

pullandbang

I was just delighted to see you were all so........well.........normal!
Great day folks and enjoyed the few pints....even if I had to pay cash and not laser:)
