THE FOCAL POINT

Throughout October, we invited our most keen photographers and enthusiasts to submit their latest and greatest shots for a very special contest celebrating our grand opening on Quinpool Road in Halifax. We were instantly flooded with more than 60 submissions, which was so exciting—we love seeing the creativity of our favourite and most prolific customers.

I couldn’t get over the massive size of it as it stood in the wide open staring at our car. I was in awe. I quickly grabbed my gear from the back, adjusted my manual settings, quietly got out and started snapping away. I got a few great shots but they couldn’t compare to what I was going to capture next…

If you’ve ever had a tour of this place, you’d know that it’s not just the storefront where all the action takes place. In fact, there’s a whole other level of important work being done in the work areas behind the photo lab.

The restored colour print looks amazing; Geraldine at Atlantic Photo Supply did a fantastic job! The image was taken by my Nan's father, my late great grandfather, Percy. I don’t know when it was taken, but I figure that it was between 1940 and 1945. It’s a gorgeous colour print that looks like a piece of art. That’s those early days of colour prints for you.
