”Now let me see if I can still figure out how to do this blog thing”
Has it really been that long?
Those of you whom followed my Ruinhunting exploits back in the day might remember that I went through a number of unexpected life changes. But we have kept moving forward. If memory serves me correctly, my last event to shoot was Tallaghtfest back in 2015. This was where my trusty Nikon D40 sadly passed away halfway up St Maelruains Tower. Since then I relied on my reasonably sized archives to keep things going. Eventually all good things must come to an end and despite a small revival with a new website and the odd Ogham Stone & Ring Fort things finished up for me five years ago.
”Cmon Ed, Get too the Point”
So fast forward to 2023, Id been doing the ‘Gym Thing’ for a while when I happened too cross paths with a World Champion Powerlifter. Long story short, I was taken under the wing and taught the ‘Ways of the Powerlift’. All joking aside, I got to train with some of the best people around, and after a year & a bit, a few competitions, countless hours of training I’ve come to a place were parts of my old life and new have come together.
So last week I went out and acquired a new DSLR so I could take some shots for the Powerlifting Website that I try to help out with. Long story short, I went into this years National to compete in Equipped Bench and qualify for something later on in the year and I think I may have rekindled my buzz with photography. Got to shoot most of the day except when I was lifting. 1400 shots had to be whittled down to a respectable 305 🙂 You can check out the full Powerlifting gallery HERE.
Now I aint going to make any promises, will the Ruinhunter make a return? I cant say just yet, but I do reckon there will be more photography content in the not so distant future. Let me know what you think?
