Has time caught up to Molly Malone? I previously shared this black and white photograph of the Molly Malone Statue. It was sad seeing so many people rubbing the statue. Seeing the clock of O’Neill’s Pub on the other side of Suffolk Street I saw an opportunity for this quite different view. Getting low to the ground and using a zoom lens I focused on Molly’s face. Framing the portrait to make it seem as if she was looking at the clock. Maybe it’s time people stop touching this statue. Dublin City Council seems to agree as this year they are running a pilot scheme to have stewards stationed next to Molly to discourage people from touching her. You can read more about this on the BBC’s article Dublin’s Molly Malone statue to get stewards to stop ‘groping’.
