I am preparing to return to my photographic activities and am in the process of deciding what equipment to bring with me on my travels. Today I took the opportunity to compare the very small Sony RX0 and the iPhone 12 Pro Max as both suffer from similar problems. I also have another compact camera, the Sony HX90V, which does have geo-tagging but I do not really like it as it does not have RAW.
I must admit that I am impressed by the iPhone but I think that under the right conditions the Sony can produce much better images. However the Apple is much easier to use and it has much more potential – for me the killer feature is that it Geo-Tags all photographs.
The Irish Museum of Modern Art also known as IMMA, is Ireland’s leading national institution for the collection and presentation of modern and contemporary art. Located in Kilmainham, Dublin, the Museum presents a wide variety of art in a changing programme of exhibitions, which regularly includes bodies of work from its own collection and its education and community department. It also aims to create more widespread access to art and artists through its studio and national programmes.
The Museum’s mission is to foster within society an awareness, understanding and involvement in the visual arts through policies and programmes which are excellent, innovative and inclusive.
At one side of Harold’s Cross on Harold’s Cross Road is Mount Jerome Cemetery, as mentioned in Joyce’s Ulysses, originally one of the residences of an extensive family named Shaw.
It is considered Dublin’s most gothic cemetery and there lie such lumunaries as Thomas Davis, George Russell (AE), and Oscar Wilde’s father, William Wilde, and mother, in addition to members of the Guinness family and deceased members of the Royal Irish Constabulary. The remains of French Huguenots once buried in St. Peter’s Churchyard, Peter’s Row (now the location of the Dublin YMCA), which was demolished in the 1980s, are interred here.
Other famous graves include those of mathematician William Rowan Hamilton and playwright John Millington Synge. The cemetery was operated from 1837 to 1984 by a private company and now belongs to the Massey family.
The creation of the cemetery at Mount Jerome in 1836 by the Protestant Church of Ireland was to counteract the popularity of burials, even among people of their own fraternity at that time, for the new Glasnevin Cemetery opened in 1832. Initially Mount Jerome was an exclusively Protestant cemetery but was later opened up to Catholic burials. There is now also a distinct Islamic plot, to the right near the entrance.
