THE lifeblood of any community is its people. Over the last three decades, photographer Peter Rees has docu- mented the lives and times of his peo- ple — the people of Kilnaboy. From the unique vantage of his truck, Peter has marked births and deaths, matches and marriages, the dying of the old and the dawning of the new. From joyous election nights to days of conflict on and off the sports field,
Peter has been there, armed only with the unjudging eye of his camera and a thirst to take the picture that tells the Story.
Of the tens of thousands of images captured by Peter since 1980, just 1,500 have been chosen for an exhibt- tion in the Kilnaboy X-PO.
‘An Udder View – Documenting a Community’ runs until July 13 and of- fers not just a collection of enthralling images, but a family photo album for a whole community.
