Today, being Friday is our last day to work with people at The Ballinglen Arts Foundation. Bob took videos of two of the artists in Residence, Mary Lohan and Eddie Kennedy as well as taking shots of the two invaluable women who keep the place going, Una Forde and Christine (Chrissie) Tighe.<\/p>\n

Normally we would rent heavy equipment on location such as lights and large tripods but since time was short and we didn\u2019t want to give up a second in Dublin going to pick up and drop off such which meant we would be taking (and carrying) what we needed. So, we took the minimum equipment needed to get the job done, cameras and a mic with small tripods. Since the light is so incredible and always changing we used this as part of the background information as to the feeling of Ballycastle.<\/p>\n

The rest of the day Bob shot around the village while I got caught up on other work and after driving to Killala for fresh fish for supper we headed to the beach.<\/p>\n

So much of the land ends with cliffs high above the ocean, we wanted to get closer to the water. (This isn\u2019t swimming weather as the temperature here in August is around 60 to 65 degrees F in the day as opposed to Philadelphia being 85 \u2013 90!) Ballycastle does, however, have a sand beach with dramatic rocks to one side and rolling hills to the other\u2014lots of little shells and long strands of kelp were washed up.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve posted that the people are warm and welcoming always ready to stop and chat and get to know you but even the beach sends a welcome!<\/p>\n
