I did bring along a versatile Vivitar 283 strobe with an HVP power pack. I needed it for low-light levels when I couldn't afford to miss a shot, although I prefer natural light whenever possible. I had come to Ireland with Republican sympathies, but with doubts and a lack of understanding of the seemingly pointless violence. In the context of daily life there I came to understand the violence. It is a civil war - in my opinion, a justifiable one.
War is horrible and mistakes are made.
They say they will see the British out within their lifetime with the pressure of the ballot and the gun.
