And that’ll do it for the first show from @InessCircus’ presentation “#Toons!” #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #poledancers #PerformanceArt #photography #HaliSky

Finally we come to @never.too.old.for.pole’s tribute to #SesameStreet & the people in your neighbourhood … and if these shots don’t pretty much scream “love of pole” I don’t know what does. 🤷‍♂️

The first rule of comedy is “commit to the bit.” You have to be willing to go all in if you want the joke to work. For example … *actually* eating lasagne while doing a #Garfield inspired pole routine to a #ShaniaTwain song like @bettylaura.aerialist did at @InessCircus’s show #Toons. #HaliSky

“Tell them Ellie’s the name of the little girl…” - #TheLastOfUs @_rollie_poley_’s video game inspired performance from @InessCircus’ first presentation of “#Toons” #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #StunDay #Poledancer #photography #HaliSky

Friendly reminder … love me a hair flip. 😂 Performer @Gill.flows at @InessCircus’ #Toons #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #PoleDancer #HairFlip #HumansofBlueSky #Stunday #photography #HaliSky

“You had plenty money, 1922…” - Jessica Rabbit (Amy Irving) By the way … did anyone else know that the Jessica Rabbit version of “Why Don’t You Do Right?” seems to be the only one sung that slowly? More from @gill.flows during last week’s #Toons by @InessCircus #poledance #EastCoastKin #HaliSky

When @gill.flows took the stage for @InessCircus’ #Toons, my immediate thought was “If she’s not doing #JessicaRabbit, I’m going to be *seriously* upset.” She proceeded to tear the house down, build it back up again … tear it down a second time. 😍🫡 #EastCoastKin #poledancer #photography #HaliSky

“The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.” - Charles Baudelaire More from @InessCircus’ show #Toons! #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #Halifax #photography #HaliSky

Dancing is creating a sculpture that is visible only for a moment. - Erol Ozan More from last week’s @InessCircus show “#Toons” #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #Humansofbluesky #PoleDAnce #photography #HaliSky

Ya know … I remember shooting at the first East Coast Ukranian festival back in 2023. Had a couple shots of a dancer on stage … framing was a bit off but the captured movement was perfection and I wanted to do more. God I *love* my life sometimes … From “#Toons” by #InessCircus #EastCoastKin

And now we take a moment to acknowledge the @InessCircus stage hand, whose speed and efficiency suggests to me she needs an act! Preferably about going up the pole without a crash pad while @never.to.old.for.pole talked about the importance of crash pads. Because that was damn funny to me.

“Oh shit! The gravity’s going out!” 1) I think we can all agree that Jadzia Dax would 1000% do pole work. 2) Working the Dax hand clasp into a routine is just #chefskiss From last weekend’s @InessCircus show “Toons.” #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photography #HaliSky #poledance

First batch from last weekend’s @InessCircus show “Toons” featuring hosts #TinaBelcher & @Never.too.old.for.pole and a #Bratz tribute from a pole class wearing heels so big my ankles hurt *watching.* 🫡 #pole #poledance #EastCoastKin #HaliSky #HumansofBlueSky

Normally I wouldn’t put so many similar shots in the same post, but I thought there might be an opportunity here: Models, don’t worry about not looking at my camera. As long as I’m not shooting the back of your head, I’ll get *something!* #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #HaliSky

Last couple sets of shots from last week’s #photoshoot, this time some duo work with @KelseyGreencorn23 & @_.a.l.e.s.i.a. #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #Stunday #HumansofBlueSky #photography #HaliSky

Gettin’ ready to shoot a couple aerial circus shows in a couple hours and working on some new content, so in the meanwhile some fog filled shots from the #Dartmouth Waterfront a couple weeks back… #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #Halifax #photography #HaliSky

My second set from last weekend’s #photoshoot, featuring @_.a.l.e.s.i.a . Left my auto ISO on during most of this shoot, and ya know what? Rather glad I did. If you’d like to see more, galleries for both Alesia and Kelsey are on my bio.link now! #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #HaliSky

First round of edits from last weekend’s photoshoot at the Dartmouth Commons are done! This group featuring @KelseyGreenCorn23 & a more vintage, occasionally film like, feel. Also I’m fairly sure I accidentally shot at least one clothing ad here. 🤷‍♂️😂 #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #HaliSky

Guess what kids! My first #SyndicationWeek is now over and it’s new content time! These are from taking my 50 & 85mm lenses, as well as my 24-120 for a walk along the waterfront about a week ago. #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #streetphotography #photography #HaliSky

Yesterday was my first batch of #Truro pics, today it’s a mix of #Halifax and Truro because I’m grouping these based on the film used. This batch was on #FujiFilm 400 speed film. Not sure what I’ll have on film this year … #BayofFundy maybe? #EastCoastKin #FilmPhotography #photograpersofBlueSky

Ok @buffer.com, @ay8s.com … I got a weird one here so buckle up because I’m pretty sure the app does NOT like Instagram! 🤣 I just finished a post that I was scheduling for Tuesday. It successfully went into the cue for BlueSky and Facebook, but Instagram had a socket hangup.

Two months ago a mass shooting left four dead and fifteen wounded here in Austin as a direct result of the war in Iran. Most of you never even heard about it. Last night a man rushed security a floor away from a room full of journalists hobnobbing with fascists. ENDLESS coverage. Fuck ALL of this.

Coming to the end of “#SyndicationWeek” but one of the things I wanted to highlight to wrap it up is a facet of #photography I don’t get to highlight all that often: #filmphotography. Shot on a Minolta Maxxum 7000, these are from my trip to Truro last summer & on Kodak 400 film. #EastCoastKin

“What kinds of photography do you like to do?” Most Photographers: “Well, I do weddings and portrait work mainly…” “What kind of photography do you like to do?” Me: “COSPLAY AND CIRCUSES BABY!!!! WHOOO!” (Content for an IG Carousel) #HaliSky #EastCoastKin #Syndicationweek

One (hopefully) last look back at winter for #syndicationweek. Shot these after a snowstorm in January … and admittedly I have no idea how I got the ferry that sharp. 😂 #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #Scape #photography #HaliSky

Halifax … we can’t maintain working transit, but by God we’ll figure out time travel!

This man has the same economic education as Miss Cleo.

A batch from my #Chuzhao Twin Lens camera where I *was* going to do some editing this time around, but due to the small file sizes, I don’t think they hold up to anything more than adding an editing profile (can likely see pixelation on the bus) #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #SyndicationWeek

Hey @buffer.com @ay8s.com … just had a bit of trouble scheduling a post. It looks like it DID go through and is currently in my scheduled posts after three attempts. I just wanted to mention it because the fist attempt got socket hang ups and the second saw … whatever the heck this is:

That feeling of randomly looking down and thinking “Oh, there’s a shot there! “B-Roll” phone shot from last January’s Valentine’s Day shoot. #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #syndicationweek #photography #HaliSky #StillLife #coffee

See … I *could* be ok with this … if Endgame hadn’t already been back to theaters, what was it? Twice? Three Times?

A little April Valentine’s Day joy (oh shush, if we can do Christmas in July, we can do this to!) with my unpublished segment from last January’s photoshoot with @FollyHollyLynn! #SyndicationWeek #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #photoshoot #Model #photography #HaliSky

Bonus Content: Had a nice & relaxing weekend walking around the waterfront & downtown this past weekend, got a lot of nice shots & thought I’d let this little gem I spotted in a window go early. I call it “Corporate Pride in a Nutshell.” #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #HaliSky #LGBTQIA

A little drive-by street iphoneography from 2024. Spotted this during a morning walk at work, pulled out my iPhone and grabbed a couple shots since I was fairly confident I’d never remember what part of the neighborhood that was. #SyndicationWeek #HaliSky #StreetPhotography #EastCoastKin

I generally file photographers under two categories, “Finders” and “Creators” (crossover totally allowed!). Some are amazing at creating a shot, others like myself can walk around and just “see” the shot in their head. Like when I wander around Downtown 😛 #HaliSky #SyndicationWeek #EastCoastKin

Some unreleased extras for #SyndicationWeek from my second ever meetup & first @photo.raf_ meet, with @anastasia.gertner & @siiimgexo … fingers crossed I get to shoot with them again, just, ya know, when it’s warmer. 😛 #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #HaliSky #photographersofBlueSky

#SQUIRREL!! I have, on occasion, described myself as the photography equivalent of the dog from #UP and perfectly demonstrated this after @photog.raf’s Point Pleasant Park photo meetup I wandered off after having my attention caught … …by a squirrel. #EastCoastKin #HaliSky #SyndicationWeek

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

I see BlueSky has upgraded from “utterly and totally borked” to “utterly borked.”

A slightly different version of my previous photo “evolution” posts in that instead of a re-edit, I have two different shots of the same object in the same place. First is from 2024, second’s about two weeks ago. #Syndicationweek #HaliSky #EastCoastKin #streetphotography

So, just a heads up for folks, I’m putting my content into what I’m calling “#SyndicationWeek” for a bit (though I’ve no idea if it’ll actually be a week). You’ll be getting re-posts of old photos, maybe some unreleased content … I’m pretty much just giving myself a bit of time to do other things.

The Marquee shoot had the bonus surprise of being able to have @_madison_mclellan_ in front of my camera again. I hadn’t had the chance to shoot with her since my first time with the group last November, so this was rather nice! #EastCoastKin #HaliSky #HumansofBlueSky #photographersofBlueSky

Folks … let me take this opportunity to introduce my friend @Rogue_Apple, who made her modeling debut last week and swore she had no idea what to do in front of the camera. No seriously. (Full gallery can be found at my bio-link) #EastCoastKin #HumansofBlueSky #HaliSky

“All those years I thought that it was power that brought responsibility. It's not. I was wrong. It's responsibility that brings power. It's knowing what needs to be done that brings strength. And courage” - Peter Parker From last week’s shoot, I give you aka @hfxSpiderman! #EastCoastKin #Stunday

Well @buffer.com @ay8s.com got another one for you. The images in the post I was attempting in this screenshot were shot and edited in 4:5 aspect ratio, and until now Buffer had been accepting my images without issue. Now it’s telling me I have to edit but the editor doesn’t do anything.

So I was trying to share these shots from last month’s #Seahorse shoot while on my way to the #Marquee for a new shoot … and Buffer said no! Let’s try this again … Models: @Jenna.ls.s, @FollyHollyLynn, @Vic.Model02, @AshZenith.Model_, @Anna_Betina, @AmyCrocker #EastCoastKin #Stunday

Well @buffer.com @ay8s.com I got another one for you guys! I was attempting to make a post roughly an hour ago, and Buffer won’t let me out of the editor. No error (It did give me an utterly random one that made no sense), no failed post, nothing. As you’ll see in the screen recording below …

So @buffer.com @ay8s.com, just wondering … I set this post to a scheduled release (should go out any minute now) but Instagram and Facebook gave me socket errors and went back to the post editor, so I tried to save as a draft just in case. Does this error mean Buffer didn’t like me doing that?

One last set from @InessCircus’ #AerialKeys. A full 30 shot gallery can now be found at bio.link/themaritimelord, and follow Iness Circus for information on upcoming shows! #photographersofbluesky #EastCoastKin #CircusArt #HumansofBlueSky #photography #HaliSky
