It's those special moments, which highlight the beauty of those things that make up our everyday world that are worth remembering. Thank you for taking time to view my attempts at capturing those moments!
I am an enthusiast photographer (an academic by profession) and currently shoot a Canon EOS 5D Mark II with the following lenses - Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM, & Sigma EX 12-24/4.5-5.6. I also have a Canon Powershot S90, which is a fantastic professional compact.
My photostream is dedicated to the loving memory of my late father, Jimmy, who entered eternal life on May 11th, 2008. All images appearing in my Photostream are my exclusive property, and are protected under International Copyright laws.
None of my images may be reproduced, copied, transmitted or, manipulated in any way shape or form without my written permission. If you wish to use any of my images, please contact me via flickrmail :-)
I greatly welcome and encourage your comments and suggestions on my work.
"Photography does not create eternity, as art does; it embalms time, rescuing it simply from its proper corruption." André Bazin (1918–1958)

Peter R. Cannon says:
"I have spent 30 years of my working life as a professional photographer and am also a tutor in photography in Melbourne Australia. As a tutor, we teach about the various rules that apply. I have to say that M.P. O'Brien has proven to be a master of the rules we teach. His stream is testament to the fact that, those rules when applied correctly, will indeed give your imagery, a finesse if you like, that without them, is hard to achieve. Of course there are always exceptions to some rules and I note that on the rare occasions, when he has indeed chosen to break the rules, he has been creative enough to make it work. I have been astounded by the quality of his composition and his wonderful understanding of lighting. All of his images appear to be well thought out, and he does indeed have a magnificent eye for creating a well constructed photograph. His love of photography shines through his entire stream. I happy put this gentleman's stream forward as a prime example of how to take the most wonderful photographs. They are all simply outstanding."
