Urban enviornment

Walking around Limerick it's amazing the different nationalities that are now living there.  Lots of new exciting new shops also being opened by some of these people.  This was one of the inspirations of why I choose to look at the new faces in Limerick.  How many of us interact with the migrants in Limerick.  On my first day out in the streets, I took photos of mostely guys, working with the County Council... they were mostly from Poland.  Then as my courage increased on asking people if I could photo them, I got a great photograph of a Sudanese woman carrying her baby in a lovely colourful blanket. She's been here 7 months and was walking around Lr. Griffith St.,   I discovered this area has an a lot of Afican shops and of course the great East is East.  I went into East is East where I photographed people from Afganistan and Pakistan.
