Photo book on Kinsale vintage funfair is ‘a form of visual anthropology’

A local photographer is hoping to crowdfund a new book about a funfair, writes Áilín Quinlan

PHOTOGRAPHER June Fairhead was so intrigued by the picturesque traditional wooden caravan which sits quietly in Kinsale all year round, its stove-pipe emitting puffs of smoke, she decided to publish a book about it.

A fine arts photographer, she has lived locally for 25 years and teaches art at Kinsale College of Further Education.
