Ruairí McCann

A roll and a half made to delight in color and the presence of friends. Steps toward learning to read in the dark.

The Winter Solstice as seen through the lens of a Super 8 road movie; a vignette painted through impressions of the land, the sights, the sounds and the local radio stations.

Filmed on vacation with dear friends on Magheraclogher Beach near the village of Bunbeg and on Tory Island, both in Ireland. An excerpt from the longer work in-progress, 'Self Portrait at 34'. Two rolls of 16mm, edited in-camera. Shot on 50D and Ektachrome. 'Loinnir' is an Irish word which means " faint or veiled and tremulous gleam or shining; a glimmer", referring simultaneously to light reflected on the waves and the warm internal feeling which stems from quality time spent with friends. The camera shutter decided to add to the feeling on this occasion. Éirinn go Brách!
