Waterford, A County Revealed

•

Introduction

In these days of inexpensive travel, it seems nearly everyone has been nearly everywhere, and that only the most exciting and distant places are worth photographing and writing about. But travel is not just about what we see. It’s also about what we feel, who we meet and what we experience.

"Waterford, A County Revealed" takes the form of a journey. It starts in Waterford City, ambles around Waterford Harbour taking in fishing ports and holiday resorts as it heads towards Ireland’s first Geopark on the Copper Coast. After pausing a-while in Dungarvan the journey continues through Irish-speaking An Rinn then follows the Blackwater River to the lovely Lismore. From there it’s over the two mountain ranges for the final leg of the journey finishing at the Suir River Bridge, for a spectacular last view of the county.

"Waterford, A County Revealed" shines a light on this almost hidden county.

George is a graduate of the Birmingham College of Photography, became a photo-journalist and the advertising photographer before going on to co-direct the major Irish stock photo agency Slidefile for twenty years. During that time he photographed the landscape of the island of Ireland for a host of book publishers.
