Met local historian Mickey McGuinness this week for Hidden Lives. I took him to the windy waterfront walkway along the Foyle to capture him beside the statues of the emigrating Derry folk. Mickey's hidden passion is building bridges to Canada, and in particular New Brunswick, were many Irish folk would have disembarked after sailing to Canada from Derry Port.
Mickey's a really interesting character, a wealth of knowledge on emigration and Derry history and a great portrait subject. Check out his feature in today's Derry Journal.
