His first photojournalism report was published in Fish Farming International, based on his experience mussel farming in Clew Bay, Co. Mayo. His first travel photographs illustrate a book nd a film which he shot - ‘Sailing to Leningrad’, published by Collins/ Grafton, in 1987, and a Channel 4/Ulster television program - ‘40 Degrees West’- of a yacht (6 metres) voyage from Ireland to St. Petersburg and the Baltic States in Russia pre glasnost.

In 2001 he was awarded a John Healy National Print Award for a feature article in the Irish Times on how the Shetland Islanders benefited from the development of Sullom Voe Oil Terminal and North Sea Oil.
