The taxi to Dublin Airport was late. I was anxiously pacing around the reception area of the Clayton Hotel (Ballsbridge). In a darkish corner on one side I saw a person I recognised from the mobile journalism conference (Mojocon).
Njanji Chauke, a South African TV reporter, was setting up his new iPad gear for an interview with Glen Mulcahy, the founder of Mojocon. It was Sunday 1st May, the day after the inspiring, but hectic conference. After a few minutes Glen appeared. Both Njanji and Glen were working way beyond normal duty.
I kept a lookout for the taxi as I took out my new Fujifilm X-Pro2 with the 23mm lens. I snapped a few shots, my final photos from Dublin.
"You must have some good photos," someone remarked at the conference. I had indeed taken some photos. Some 3,000 or so:-) Good ones? Well, it's always the next one that may be a decent one! This low-light capture a day after the conference, as I waited for the taxi, taken by sheer luck, might be a decent depiction of the event. Funny, how the last photo is one of my favourite.
Thanks to Glen and the team at RTE, the Irish equivalent of the BBC, for inviting me to document this unique event, the first time I've seriously taken the "camdiary" outside Cambridge. Oh, Glen sorted out the taxi and I caught the flight back to the UK on time.

It's back to beautiful Cambridge now:-)
