There is nothing like a sunrise before a storm on the Halifax Waterfront.

Three years ago I started walking the Halifax Waterfront for my health. I saw a gentleman doing a 180 day challenge and I thought it would be a good idea.

Well who would have known three years ago I would still be walking.

I have had a few people ask me if they could purchase photos from me.

Well I have found a program that should allow me to blow them up to a pretty good size.

If you are interested in any of the images posted, please reach out and I will be happy to chat about pricing and opportunities to use them.

If you wish to share, please do, all I ask is that you don’t crop or get rid of the watermark and please tag me.

Thank you in advance.

This morning on the pier.

Starting to work on getting more of the photos posted. I have over 20000 images of the waterfront over the three years of this project….

I figured the posts would be great to start with the rebuild of the pier from Jan 2021…

This seat was at the end of the pier by the lower deck in Halifax.

It was one of my favorite seats because it reminded me of sitting on a ship.

It doesn't look like there are any plans to rebuild it.

A little bit of a shame.

Good day all!

Sorry I’ve been a long time coming on this page.

I’ve been working on a few things.

1) The best shots of the past two and a half years.
- I’ve spent weeks trying to find the best shots that may be able to be purchased. I am looking at the online store options currently.

2) watermarks - before I start posting them online I wanted to at least have the “on A Halifax Pier logo on the shots. This had to be done manually so this was time consuming

3) finding a website program.
I am getting close to launching the site and getting some more information on it.

If you go through shane.paris on instagram this is where the majority of the photos were originally posted. If you have one or two in mind you would like printed, please let me know.

This is one of my favorite shots of downtown. So much symbolism here in one shot.

This piece by Trackside Studios may be my second favourite pice in Halifax. The title is connection,Name reflects that in 2020 humans are more connected with each other than ever, yet many are still divided. This mural is for

This was the first day I started documenting.. I didn’t really think much of it, I just saw the sun shining through and thought that this would be a great photo. Prior to this I had done a few walks and there are a ton of great sunrises before this that I did capture but I decided to start with this one.

This is George's Island in Halifax Harbour. The island itself has been used for so many things over the years. The main one was that it is a fortified island, on the outermost area, there are still cannon ports set up even today

The on a Halifax Pier project started a few months after our dear RyLeigh crossed over the rainbow bridge.

In late 2020 like many people we had fear, uncertainty and doubt about what was to come. Losing her was the final piece that put me over the edge.

For weeks afterwards there was no reason to go for walks or to do anything that was good for me. I finally decided that enough was enough and so I started walking again.

My walks usually start on the top of this hill. The plan was to walk the waterfront where Ry and I used to walk. I wanted to prove to myself that I was getting my walks in, so I started documenting my walks.

While I walk I listen to Gary Vaynerchuk and his podcast. One of the ideas they came up with was the idea of “Document Don’t Create”

Also listening and learning about NFTs I came up with the idea of a daily post of one of my daily photos.

For over a year and a half I have been walking. Sometimes not on the pier itself but throughout the downtown core.

The idea on the name “On A Halifax Pier” came from a few pieces.

1) When we lost RyLeigh and when I started walking I was as Stan Rodgers says… I’m a broken man ON A HALIFAX PIER… the last of Barrett’s Privateers.

2) RyLeigh and I walked along the Halifax Piers daily.

3) it is where majority of my walks start.
