ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I've been documenting the lives, culture and traditions of the Irish Travelers, a forgotten people since 2017. The images I've captured reflect my personal interactions with the Travelers I have met and followed through the years at halting sites, illegal encampments in and around County Galway, Limerick, and outside of Dublin as well as the annual horse fair in Ballinasloe.

The Car Boys was taken at the Carrowbrowne Halting Site, in Galway, Ireland.
These three boys, Billy, Steven, and Paddy had no natural outside areas to play and so used an abandoned car as their playground, destroying the car in display of their boredom, frustration, and aggression. The Carrowbrowne halting site is located on the outskirts of Galway city next to a waste management site. Although the site was intended to be temporary, it has now become their family's permanent area of living.
