Facing deportation, Leticia Cables, a nanny from the Philippines, took sanctuary in a Roman Catholic church in Edmonton for three months in 1999. She was eventually deported, but was subsequently allowed to return to Canada. (Paul Daly)
I am an old-school photojournalist. I miss the simplicity of film black and white, colour and transparencies, or slides, if you will.
Before photographs, there were etchings and paintings, both with so much texture. I learned photography from the photojournalists at the Sunday Tribune, the newspaper in Dublin where I started my career.
As a junior photographer, I was taken to the National Gallery of Ireland to study composition of paintings and we discussed how that image would have been taken as a photograph. I especially enjoyed the Norman Rockwell exhibitions and books; his compositions were amazing.
