Josh Mulholland Photography, Kilcock (2026)

Lately I feel completely exhausted by Instagram, by Dublin, by the internet, by people in general. Every morning feels like opening an app and immediately being hit with racism, sexism, homophobia, anger, outrage, people desperate to humiliate each other over absolutely nothing. Everyone performing. Everyone trying to win. Nobody listening or communicating.

Today I watched a lad throw his chewing gum out the window of his car right in front of me. I said “couldn’t have waited til you got to a bin, no?” and immediately he was frothing at the mouth ranting about foreigners “FOREIGNERS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND YOU’RE WORRIED ABOUT A BIT OF CHEWING GUM!?”. The irony completely lost on him while he litters in his own city. I’ve a few choice words for people like that.

That interaction honestly just summed up how everything feels lately. I walked home furious, confused, exhausted, longing for the sounds of small birds again to replace the sirens and noise of city life.

People talk to strangers now the same way they talk in comment sections. Aggressive. Defensive. Being cruel for sport has become a personality trait. Kindness gets mocked “you’re one of them stupid f #€k!ng lefty c^*ts!!”. Empathy gets treated like weakness, which in itself is a blessing and a curse. Everyone wants someone to blame while refusing to look at their own behaviour, or blame the right people in this class war. Because that’s what it is, clearly by design. My life feels to revolve around it now, always in my face.

I’m tired of seeing vulnerable people targeted every single day while people disguise hatred as “telling the truth”. I’m tired of rage bait being passed off as conversation. Tired of algorithms rewarding the loudest, most hateful voices. I’m tired of space feeling hostile all the time, whether that’s digital or physical.

Maybe I’m just burnt out, but it genuinely feels like people have forgotten how to exist alongside each other with even a tiny bit of decency and human empathy. I miss when people acted human with each other and had the craic.

I know I’m not very active posting here but I’m logging off for a while. Email me with any enquiries.

Grá mór 💖

Life lately has been slower, but in a good way. There’s less noise so to speak. The stresses I used to have don’t even seem real anymore and the things that don’t go to plan in life, don’t seem to that big of an issue. It could be car troubles, or worry about the weather for a photoshoot, or just little things like “oh we need to do a shop because there’s nothing in the press” haha I guess since I’ve started taking more accountability and giving up the gargle to focus on myself and my family, life seems so much simpler. I enjoy early mornings fishing, arriving to the swim at 5am, sometimes earlier. I enjoy sleeping in, and talking with Elena about god knows what. I enjoy visiting my mam and seeing the weight that’s been lifted from her shoulders since she secured a home, and the new life it’s given her as she now has a project to focus on, and a roof over her bloody head, a washing machine and and oven!!! I enjoy seeing my friends succeed in life, even if I don’t seem them that much. I enjoy spending more time outside in nature, and less time in dark rooms with people off their heads. I enjoy trying to build things properly instead of quickly, but I’m not too fussed about a whole lot other than my people and I feeling good. So I don’t overwork myself, because I’m always grand anyway. Anyway .. I enjoy fishing when I can because it gives me space from all the noise. Anyway .. I’m just figuring it all out one week at a time, but I’ll never forget the exact moment I decided to take my life back.

Here’s a few photos of my pal that I managed to capture during a few quiet moments of his recent tour. It’s always a pleasure working with this lovely young man. Thank you so much for having me back and along the journey with you! 💖

Slowly getting back into a proper workflow after a pretty slow Mí Eanáir (January). It was a nice chill one but it was starting to give me anxiety le sos chomh fhada (with such a long break) thar an Nollaig (over the Christmas), it’s nice to be kept on your toes 🤣 Mothaíonn sé go hiontach (it feels great) to be shooting again with a nice mixture of personal, pósadh 💒💍 , corporate and commercial shoots an seachtain seo agus seo chaite (this week and last)! I have a bit of space available later this month if anyone’s been meaning to book in with me! Tap in yo, let’s obair (work) 💖💙
