Martin McCrossan, tour guide, swimmer..


Had to get up early to snap Martin McCrossan for the Derry Journal's Hidden Lives feature this week. The man, who is without a doubt Derry's best ambassador, gets up at 6am every morning for his daily swim. His schedule is so packed that this was the only time I could catch him for a photo. So at an unGodly hour of last Sunday morning, while the rest of you slumbered peacefully in your beds, I met the legend that is Martin McCrossan at his local pool for a picture, and this is the result.

  2. Hey John,
    Thanks for your kind words. I'm lucky that my missus, a journalist and sub-editor with the Irish News helps me out!
    Do you want a copy of the picture? Send me an email address.
    All the very best, cheers
    Brendan
