An exhibition in Skibbereen pays tribute to late photographer Michael Minihane, writes
THERE are certain photographs that stop you in your tracks. Michael Minihane’s picture of a man in 1967 hoisted on ropes as he whitewashes the Beacon, an iconic landmark at the entrance to Baltimore Harbour, is one of those. Visitors to this year’s Skibbereen Arts Festival, the tenth edition, will be treated to 30 of some of Minihane’s most memorable photographs.
