The Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) invites you to the UK premiere of Ground Zero 360°, a photographic exhibition which uses harrowing visuals, chilling audio clips and a unique panoramic installation to depict the startling aftermath of one of the most tragic events in American history - ‘9/11’. 

The exhibition has been put together by Nicola McClean, a New York based Irish photographer who used her camera to document the devastation of the day, and her husband, Paul McCormack, an NYPD police captain who was part of the rescue mission. 

Ground Zero 360° will run from 3rd May – 25th May 2012 at PRONI’s state of the art new building in Belfast’s historic Titanic Quarter.

The exhibition has been greatly received on both sides of the Atlantic and we hope that you will be able to join us in welcoming it to PRONI

We look forward to seeing you,

Nigel Snell Photography is delighted to announce the provision of Bird of Prey Photography sessions. In conjunction with a local Falconer, we are in the process of arranging dates for the coming season. Sessions will be half day and you will have exclusive use of Owls and Falcons in an appropriate wild setting. Photograph the birds perched in their natural environment, but even better than that, we will photograph the birds in flight, right over the top of your head, so no need for super-telephoto lenses. Further details will be announced here and on my website www.nigel-snellphotography.com very soon. If you have an interest in attending one of these sessions, please contact me on 07515 282977 or email nigelsnellphotos@aol.com. Examples of the type of images you could expect to get are on www.flickr.com/photos/nigelsnell.Nigel Snell
