About

I’m based in Dublin, Ireland, but work some of the time as a press officer and blogger for Greenpeace, so I’m on the move a lot. In the last couple of years, I’ve been working in the west of Ireland, Dublin, northern Finland, New Zealand, Australia, the Antarctic, New York, Oslo, London, Amsterdam, Africa and Alaska. I also freelance as a writer and photographer.

My photography website is at davewalshphoto.com, which is part of my Photoshelter gallery, an Alamy profile and a photography blog, Abroad

I’ve just put out a couple of books from my website, blather.net

A Load of Blather: Unreal Reports from Ireland and Beyond

“Eleven years, three convictions, two deportations, ten thousand pints, six barring orders and a legion of leather-clad groupies later, Dave Walsh, Barry Kavanagh and Damien DeBarra (the cheap tarts that brought you Blather.net) bring you their latest labour of love: A Load of Blather: Unreal Reports from Ireland and Beyond, the first book that anyone has been nuts enough to let them publish. Shamelessly re-working articles which have been online for years anyway, this magnificent tome is a veritable smorgasboard of smut; bursting out of its trousers with a great heaving cavalcade of paranormal events, superstitions, mysterious happenings, conspiracy theories, hordes of rampaging kangaroos in the Dublin hills, and the previously untold story of General Michael Collins’ forays into outer space. There’s even a bit about talking cows in there. If the lawyers haven’t cut it out. There’s guest articles too, from the likes of Sue Walsh, Oliver Bayliss and Dr. Stewart Roberts.”

Photoshelter to Javascript for LS feed?

Hi folks,
You know in our profiles, under “links & feeds” where we add website addresses etc.? Well, for obvious reasons, I’ve disabled the “Javascript image feed” to my DRR archive, which I had set up to show the latest new images. I’d like to do the same thing with my main Photoshelter feed.

Having talked to PS support, the best bet, it seems, is to pull the RSS feed from my main PSS page, i.e.:
http://pa.photoshelter.com/c/davewalshphoto?feed=rss

I’ve put it through the RSS to Javascript site here:
http://itde.vccs.edu/rss2js/build.php
Settings:
Show Channel: Yes
Number of items to display: 12
Show Item Descriptions: 1

I then cut and pasted the URL from the SCRIPT tag:
http://itde.vccs.edu/rss2js/feed2js.php?src=http3A2F2Fpa.photoshelter.com2Fc2Fdavewalshphoto3Ffeed%3Drss&chan=n&num=0&desc=0&date=n&targ=n

However, that doesn’t seem to work as well as the original DRR feed. – it’s posting large pictures rather than thumbnails (see here: http://www.lightstalkers.org/deadlyphoto and scroll down)

Anyone else having any luck with it? Maybe Lightstalkers and PS can arrange something together?

thx
