"A Week in Kenmare - Our Town, Your Pictures" is a publication, produced in association with the Kenmare Chronicle 2024. The 2024 edition is based on a photography contest and consists of photographs, taken during one week in Kenmare.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the photographic collection of a Weekend in Kenmare which was held from the 9th to 11th May 2014, Kenmare Chronicle went bigger and better for 2024 and extended it to a week in Kenmare. The event ran from 11th to 18th August 2024, taking in the town’s annual Fair Day on the 15th August as well as a host of other events and festivals.
Some Other Photos
All three photos, which I have submitted, made it into the publication. Whereas ‘Enjoying an ice cream on Fair Day’ has been chosen as the overall winner, the other two images ‘Nosey Cows’ and “Sunset, Kenmare Bay’ are prominently featured on double pages.


The Winning Image
The picture was taken around noon on Kenmare Fair Day. We were waiting for friends to join us on a stroll through town. It was actually my wife Linda, who spotted the photo opportunity and fortunately I had my camera handy, as I was adjusting some exposure settings. I took a series of pictures, hoping to capture the ‘right’ moment. Well, it must have worked out well, as the judges unanimously chose this photograph to become the overall winner.
