There haven’t been so many photos posted on my blog recently. It doesn’t mean that I am not taking the photos at all. I do. In this post and the some future ones I am going to show some of my photos in a thematic order.
The first topic - Irish trees. They are just different compared to the trees I know from Poland. I am impressed of those standing alone with crooked branches. Every time I am looking at them, the stories or fairy-tales come to my mind.
One of my favorite trees I have seen so far in Ireland, stands alone in the middle of the field in the outskirts of Tullamore. I posted this photo to one of the photo and art web communities - and I entitled this “souls devourer” and wrote very short story about it, but I think it is a good idea to write a bit more words in the future.
Here it is - the photo (click to enlarge) and my short story:
Souls Devourer: During the dark cold days , on the grey winter fields of Ireland appear standing alone souls devourers in ambush for children that break the ban, and after Samhain or Hallowe’en they are still going to the fields to eat rotten blackberries. Tree-like monsters wave their enormous arms and they can consume the soul of a careless child in the twinkling of an eye.
Another photos of trees that I like very much I took near Carlow. Here is one example (was presented on my blog about 6 or 7 months ago).
Have you considered selling (Hi res) versions of these?
Paul
I have sold two photos from my blog so far, but to be honest, I have no experience in selling photos.
anyway I would like to
Paul is right! You should try selling more of your work, mo chara. It is fantastic! You see things I never would have.
Have you tried Getty Images: http://creative.gettyimages.com/source/home/home.aspx?
ps. Can I use HTML tags here?
I will have to check out that, and learn more about selling my photos, but first of all, I would like to exhibit my photos in couple of Irish galleries (even local ones). An exhibition entitled “Ireland from a Polish perspective”.
I am going to successively post my best photos (in my opinion) here.
More my photos you can find on art galleries service: digart.pl - here is a link to my gallery: www.mackozer.digart.pl/digarty
You can find there photos mostly from Ireland and Scotland.
and yes.. you can use html tags
Sonas Ort!
Wow! And I’ve just had a glimpse at www.mackozer.digart.pl/digarty
Yeah, go for it, przyjaciel (?). An exhibition would be excellent. Make sure you make a post when you have the details.
Yes I will!
I am glad you like my gallery at digart.pl
Przyjaciel - a chara

Wonderfully striking tree images mackozer.
I was especially taken by “Souls Devourer” which I believe is a native Irish oak (Quercus robur).
If you would like to discover more about the Irish trees which you photograph then you might find this link useful… http://www.gardenplansireland.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=69
It is a detailed image and info list of all our native Irish trees.
Keep up the good work on both the photography and blogging fronts.
