Here are some images photographed by students who participated on the first documentary photography course in the Gallery of Photography. What a time we had... from "Yer Wan In Da Windah", a curious reportage about the statue of the white lady on the rock who looks out through the windows of houses, particularly around Crumlin to "Angels Plot", a gentle and poignant study of the graves of over 50,000 children who were buried in Glasnevin cemetery, we had a really interesting selection of stories that students chose to document for their projects. There were also documentaries on a yoga practitioner, an artist moulding a strange looking punk fish out of clay and a haunting set of images documenting Dublin as a city of blinding lights... Well done to all who participated.. note:copyright is belonging to each photographer.. anybody know how to customize this for individual images on photoshelter, please let me know. kh
