Street Photography In European Urban Environments
Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) represents a major step in the integration of EU economies. It involves the coordination of economic and fiscal policies, a common monetary policy, and a common currency, the euro. Whilst all 27 EU Member States take part in the economic union, some countries have taken integration further and adopted the euro. Together, these countries make up the euro area.

My original aim was to document the changes in Dublin as they take place and to date I have accumulated a library of more than 60,000 photographs showing all aspects of the city as well as nearby towns and villages. However as time passed it became obvious that the scope of the project needed to be expanded to include not only the rest of Ireland but also the rest of Europe. To date I have visited Belfast, Cork, Limerick and Brussels and the focus is now on "Urban Culture" and "Street Life".
Going forward I hope to visit many more Cities and regions.
