Good Friday from Prospect. I'm baaaaaack!

Halifax Public Gardens visit

Good Wednesday from Prospect.

At the front gates. Corner Spring Garden and South Park

This is the live band Gazebo in the centre of the park.
Live music is usually held on the weekends.

Last year you may recall, if you've been keeping up with this blog, I posted a piece on the Rock Camp here in Halifax

One of the many statues and floral arrangements you'll find in the Park

[LINK to previous post].

Well what I didn't mention is that we arrived a little early and went for a stroll through the Halifax Public Gardens. This is a space dedicated by the city as a Victorian era garden green space in the heart of the Halifax peninsula. It was founded in 1867 the year of Canadian Confederation and has been designated a National Historic site.

With the onslaught of Hurricane Juan in September 2003 it was all but completely decimated. But with the strength and determination, that the people of Halifax are known for, the Gardens once again blossom in the heart of this fair city.

Unfortunately the day was a wet one and just finished up a July shower when we arrived so the grounds were wet and still over cast. Colours were muted and a bit dark, not the best lighting for a garden shoot, hence the black & whites. 

Note: my favourite medium has always been b&w. 

As a favourite of tourists and newly wed couples on their wedding day, I can just imagine how many photos have been shot in this park over the last 146 years.

If you ever stop by Halifax take the time to stroll through these beautiful gardens. Here's hoping for good weather when you visit.

Enjoy, Derek

Head Shots that DON'T HURT

Good Thursday from Prospect,

My new Photography site is up and running and filling up with current works.

Check it out here [ http://derekmasonphotography.com ]. 

In need of that head shot that has life? You know what I'm talking about. one that shows who you are, not the Walmart or department store snap. The one that shows people what you're about.

Well check out the Portrait & Head Shot Portfolio page for some samples of what I do. If you're interested just drop a line through the contact page or place a comment here.

I also do editorial and commercial work, Just Sayin'. 

If that's the bag you're in I'd be happy to take the time to discuss what we can do together.

Hope to hear from you. Enjoy the pics.

Derek
