[Leica] Aongus

[imra at iol.ie (Douglas Barry)]

A casual portrait of Aongus Collins - Irish political cartoonist and member 
of Bray Camera Club - taken in the pub with my littlish Canon G9. With the 
economy tanking/bumping along the bottom here, he's not short of subjects to 
graphify.

As you'll note I live in Bray, Co. Wicklow - home of many fine pubs 
including the Harbour Bar which was recently ranked the World's Best Pub by 
Lonely Planet. However, the pub in which this shot was taken is Duffs on 
Main St., Bray. Ah yes, Duffs! Duffs is a truly excellent emporium and 
contains a vast amount of cycling memorabilia, images, and ephemera 
including bicycles used by Stephen Roche and Sean Kelly. I think I can 
honestly say there is nothing decorative in it that isn't cycling related. 
The street outside the pub itself was a hot spot sprint finish when the Tour 
de France visited Ireland some years ago. It's a wonderfully peaceful place 
to relax in and doesn't have a television to annoy you. The pints there are 
rather wonderful too.
