American landscape photographer David J Eisenlord (Ike to his friends) gave a presentation of his superb images to the club on Monday night last, 09 February.  Ike is in Ireland for a month as Artist in Residence in the Sirius Arts Centre, Cobh, for February.  Ike spoke passionately about his photography, and brought along a selection of his Platinum Palladium prints for the audience to view.

Ike was joined on the night by his father and Peggy Sue Amison, Artistic Director of the Sirius Arts Centre, who is herself an accomplished photographer.  Peggy Sue gave a brief overview of the Sirius Arts Centre, and the Artist in Residence programme.  A number of visitors from adjoining clubs also braved the cold to join us on the night.

At the end of his presentation Ike invited the audience up to take a close look at his prints.  He also presented one of the prints to the club for our collection.  Club Chairman Paddy Fennessy thanked David for this wonderful gesture.

Artist in Residency Programme

“Growing up taking family camping vacations to the shores of Lake Michigan and Huron, and later as an engineering student in Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula, the power and beauty of the Great Lakes made a profound impression on me. The Great Lakes are my Big Sky country, a place for solitude and contemplation of ones smallness. I’m drawn in particular to the landscapes of the northern shore of Lake Superior and similar areas such Iceland and the coast of Maine. “ David Eisenlord
