Ryan Lanning was moonlighting as one of the New Dublin Leprechauns when he chose to capture this moment in 2021. “It was a staged shot of a Leprechaun sitting on the top of the city limits sign (he eventually fell off) trying to catch a hammer thrown by another Leprechaun for a live television shot,” he admits. “I didn’t know how this shot turned out until later in the day when I actually looked at my photos and was a bit shocked to see the end result. It all fits the word shenanigans or the mischievous trouble Leprechauns can get into. Perfect for St. Patrick’s Day.”
