Picture this: Gift of camera sparked 45-year career in photography

A NEW and exciting world opened up for Gerard O’Meara when his parents Jim and Aileen marked his 14th birthday with a present of a Zeiss Ikon Nettar camera.

It started him off on a career as a photographer that has already spanned over 45 years during which he has recorded many aspects of life in Mallow.

Now, he has compiled a book of 162 photographs from his archive covering that period with the apt title Magic Moments.
