🇮🇪 With the rugby season wrapped up, it was great to get involved in Athlone Photography Club’s People of Athlone project. It’s a fantastic initiative that brings together photography and community, offering the chance to meet and capture the stories of people across Athlone.
It was a real pleasure meeting “Viking George” (see bio below) and gaining access to a unique, behind-the-scenes side of Athlone.
🇫🇷 La saison de rugby étant terminée, je suis ravi de participer au projet "People of Athlone" d'Athlone Photography Club. C’est une formidable initiative qui allie photographie et rencontre, en permettant de découvrir et de capturer les histoires des habitants d’Athlone.
Ce fut un réel plaisir de rencontrer « Viking George » (voir bio ci-dessous) et d’accéder à une partie plus confidentielle d’Athlone.
