one of our favourite shots of Greystones

And the reason for that is, like many a great photographer, David Hoctor doesn’t like to be at the other end of the camera lens.
When we finally tracked the man down, and suggested we do a 
cover story interview, young David was flattered but emphatic – nope, he’d rather stay in the shadows, being the one who’s doing the snapping.

Still, wonder just how high David was when he took these beauties…
