VIEWPOINT GALLERY'S FIRST PHOTOWALK!

Whether you’re a seasoned pro, an amateur, an analog enthusiast, a digital lover, or someone who just loves snapping photos on their phone, this walk is for you. All skill levels and camera types are welcome to attend this free event.
We’ll be strolling along the Halifax Waterfront, capturing the energy, colours, and Canada Day festivities. There’s no strict itinerary—we’ll just follow the action and see where our cameras take us.
Don't forget comfortable walking shoes, a water bottle, sunscreen, and plenty of space on your memory card and/or extra rolls of film!
The Details:
When: Wednesday, July 1st at 1:00 PM
Where: Meeting at the Samuel Cunard Statue (1215 Marginal Road, right by the Halifax Seaport)
How to find us: Just look for the crowd with cameras!
No registration required—just show up, bring your creativity, and let’s shoot together.
Be sure to tag your shots with #ViewPointPhotowalk on social media so we can feature our favourites on our page.
Note: We’re on, rain or shine! But in the event of extreme weather, keep an eye on our social media by 11:00 AM for updates.
INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION JUNE
"Notre Philosophie en coleur"
Monique Campbell (Canada)
Artist Statement:
In 2018, I exhibited my photograph Perspective in the Salon des Beaux Arts at the Carrousel du Louvre in the basement of the Louvre. I was thrilled to be in Paris, France exhibiting and being a flâneur strolling the streets in the shadows of my photographic heroes André Kertész and Henri Cartier-Bresson. While in the Pigalle area near the Moulin Rouge, I spotted this woman and loved her look. I made the image as she was drinking her latte on Christmas Day. The mystery shrouding her face held my attention. Notre Philiosophie en couleur is one of my fond memories from the City of Light.
Price: $450
OUR NEXT OPEN PRINT REVIEW
Saturday July 4
10am to Noon
Print reviews are open to the public and free of charge! Bring your prints (any size, framed or not) for a friendly critique led by a Gallery member. If you've ever wondered what others think of your work but were too shy to ask or always received the dreaded "It's nice" response, this is your opportunity. We hope to see you there!
LOOKING AHEAD
Insomniac
Solo Exhibition by ViewPoint Member Ed Brisson
August 6-30 2026
Opening Reception:
Thursday August 6, 6-8 pm
Artist Talk:
Sunday August 15, 2-3 pm
"Insomnia has plagued me since I was a teen. To soothe my restless mind, I often walk through the sleeping city with my camera in hand. During the night, spared from the noise of traffic and crowds of people, I am granted peace that the day can never deliver.
This exhibit is an attempt to capture the world as seen through the eyes of the sleepless, of us insomniacs who haunt the night while the rest of the city slumbers."
Peter Barss
August Guest Artist
August 6-30 2026
"In his series Equivalents Alfred Stieglitz used images of clouds as metaphors for feelings and ideas. Inspired by his concept that a photographic image does not have to be representational I make my images, which lie somewhere between traditional photography and painting, by compositing elements from multiple pictures."
Foreshore & Back
Solo Exhibition by ViewPoint Member Craig Benjamin
September 3-27
"Macros and landscapes. Black and white and colour. Digital and film. Photos taken over a five-year period in all seasons and all weather. A meditation on loss and renewal on the shores of Mi'kma'ki."
