In 2005 I attempted to capture the busiest streets of Dublin utterly void of life. Despite many efforts on different days at different times, I could never capture the images I wanted in daylight without digital manipulation. I discovered that there was a sweet spot to achieve the desired effect; 1-2 hours on Xmas morning. Since this discovery, I have set up my tripod and camera at first light every Xmas morning with the project evolving over several cities. 2019 was the first time I've been back to Dublin for Xmas since I left in 2012, so naturally, on Xmas morning at first light, I got to revisit the empty streets where it all started.
