I shot this last year, Transworld Publishing licensed it for the cover of David Norris' Autobiography "A Kick Against the Pricks". He was born in the Belgian Congo to an English father, who died when he was just six, and an Irish mother, who died when he was 21. He has lived in Dublin from the age of six months, and the city of Ulysses remains one of his great passions. It is a journey from the margins to the centre of Irish society.
