18th February, 2010 - Fr. James McSweeney

Fr James McSweeney

Fr. James McSweeney provided great entertainment in his talk tonight.

He reminded us of the need to always keep your camera near by as you never know what unique moments in time will pass us by. He also spoke of the need to put yourself out there to get the shot you want, like the time he stood in the middle of the road during a climb in the tour of Ireland just to get a shot of Lance Armstrong.

He also spoke about how he provided motivation to himself to go out there and shoot. In his case, it's his website

Photography can be very satisfying and so rewarding. Don't take it too serious though. At all times smile!! It works wonders!

- Fr. James McSweeney
