Last night at the DMYC, a very large crowd turned out to enjoy a fascinating talk by longstanding club member and well-known Dún Laoghaire sailor, Frank Miller.

Frank enjoyed a distinguished career as a press photographer and photo editor with The Irish Times, and previously with The Irish Press. Over the years, he received numerous awards in recognition of his exceptional work.

His talk, ‘Brief Encounters’, showcased a remarkable collection of photographs featuring well-known public figures, along with the captivating stories behind each image. Drawing on decades of experience, Frank offered unique insights into his work and the moments, personalities and circumstances that shaped these memorable shots.

The audience was thoroughly entertained throughout the evening, which concluded with a loud cheer! 🥳

Well done, Frank — and thank you for sharing such wonderful stories from your career! 📸
