FOR 44 years, former Donegal News photographer Declan Doherty has been behind the lens bringing to life stories of happiness, tragedy and the very ordinary.
An exhibition of the award-winning press photographer’s work in Donegal County Museum will be nostalgic for many people, allowing them to walk down memory lane of yesteryear in Donegal.
‘Life Through The Lens’, which is part of the Earagail Arts Festival, officially opened last week and will run until the end of August in the Letterkenny-based museum.
