Bloody hell you stayed right in it. There was
no way I was getting that close, a 1200mm
lens would have been needed where I was.

It really was more a case of the riot
starting around me. One minute I was
photographing a few rowdies the next I’m in
the middle of a medieval battle.

I was up at the Savoy from the start, but
when bricks and fireworks started heading in
my general direction I decided it was time to
retreat.
Glaa you got out safely, you got some great
shots to remember the day by, not that you
are likely to forget it in a hurry anyway.

battoning down the hatches for the rest of
the day!

Yeah I was in O'Connell street too, and
things erupted very very quickly. It was a
scary place today

Dublin Flickrites at different locations around the
city.

That's amazing work for a non pro. I know a
couple of long- standing photojournalists and
someone was saying to me that it must be hard
on them now that digital photography has
opened up the potential to a much wider pool.
No say I - you can always tell the work of
an amateur from a pro journalist.
Now I'm not so sure..

I agree Hindolbittern and made a similar
comment elsewhere. The coverage by flickr
members on Saturday was unreal. If I was a
newspaper photographer, I think I'd start
looking into fashion or product shots! Also
check out the notes on the photo for where
the professionals were. They were behind the
riot police!
Great work, if a little risky!

Interesting how the lad wearing the tricolour
is trying to brain a Gardi for protecting
Protestants. Doesn't he know the flag is
supposed to represent peace between the 2
traditions ...

Ah! At first I didn't see the green guy at
the back.
I think the significance of orange on the
flag is an intellectual nuance that is lost
on the rioters. Consider the absurdity of a
“republican” protesting against a pro-British
march while cowering behind an Aston-Villa
scarf.
In my view, most of the ones doing the
throwing are just thugs getting high on
adrenaline.

election.. "they will be putting all our
names in their little black books.. I know
what their doing but I don't wanna
look".. Elvis Costello... yeah your
