The National Photographic Archive

17th October, Paddy's Palace

Today was lazy! Woke up quite late and called home. Sorted out money, little bit of life, and decided I wanted to go back to bed.

Woke up again later on, and walked into Temple Bar in Dublin.

The National Photographic Archive has an exhibition on at the moment to do with photography in Ireland between 1858 and 1922...

Original vintage prints from the Sean Sexton Collection

So I had quite an educational afternoon, which ended with me getting an invite to an exhibition opening on Tuesday evening. If I don't make it down to Midleton, Co Cork, I'll go to that. (I am trying to contact some people who in a round-a-bout way are known to a friend of mum's, to stay with them for a couple of days... Money is low, so visiting people is a nice way of elevating the stress of money)
