The antithesis of trendy, Slow Dublin celebrates all that's local, natural, traditional, sensory and most of all gratifying about life in Dublin. It's an inspirational lifestyle guide for locals and regular visitors who want to live more and fret less. Readers are invited to rise up - in their own sweet time, of course - against the culture of speed, fad and uniformity. And instead revel in the things that make this corner of the world unique. Explore the natural features that shape and define Dublin, clip the wings of time, shop with soul, tune into your senses and savour life without spending. See, smell, hear, taste and even touch the city anew and bond with your community and surrounds. There's even a slow guide for fast kids, and lots of inspirational tips, activities and affirmations that will help you get more out of life's simple pleasures. Expressive black-and-white photography, by Ren? Bruun and Mark Chilvers, conveys the soul of the capital and evokes a sense that everything old is new again.
Photographs by Mark Chilvers and Rene Bruun. Anto Howard was born and raised in Blanchardstown, and has spent much of the last 10 years writing about Dublin and Ireland for international travel guides and publications such as Fodor's, the AA and National Geographic Traveller. He lives in a little house in the Liberties, where he writes plays, grows tomatoes and apples, and takes his time to...well, just takes his time. He did, of course, miss his deadline but by no more than we had allowed for. Mark Chilvers specialises in portrait, travel and feature photography, and has been extensively published in more magazines and newspapers than is worth mentioning. He is also involved in community teaching programmes in south London as well as completing his Masters in documentary and photojournalism. Rene Bruun is an Irish-born, Dublin-based photographer. He has been photographing his city for nearly two decades, and never leaves home without his camera. He has been widely published in various magazines, travel guides and newspapers as well as the National Geographic website.
