24 hours from this very minute is the opening of this year's Pre-Shrunk at @argylefineart.bsky.social - the funnest night of the year for people who like to look at hundreds of tiny works of art. Surely you can find a fave Show details and another peek at my five below #halisky #preshrunk2026

Probably the prettiest food I've ever made. Scavenged some fridge stuff for an afternoon snack for @lanalou.bsky.social and me

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

Dropped off my five pieces for Pre-Shrunk at @argylefineart.bsky.social this afternoon - a little rainbow of Haligonian street scenes. Here's a little sneak peek 🐱 The show opens for its 22nd year(!) next Friday at 7pm with >300 4x5" pieces, $175 each. It's always a wonderful show #preshrunk2026

I feel this level of sass from our oven is unwarranted: I start a timer and push 6 and 0 to get 60 minutes, hit Start. The oven beeps and shows ERROR, then sets the time to 1:00 Well, excuuuuse me. Maybe I'll just use the microwave next time

Look at this icon of cuteness #cats

Just found out that the quoted photo will be one of five pieces I'll have in this year's Pre-Shrunk show at everyone's favourite galllery @argylefineart.bsky.social - a small rainbow of Haligonian street scenes Details on the show are below. You should definitely go and find some faves to take home

New bot dropped. It often feels like people share news of Halifax permits, esp for demolition, as if they are secret knowledge. It’s all open data and now this bot posts them with street view (if available) and maps. Just demolition for now but may expand depending on volume.

People cohabitating with cats: this has been a fairly popular modification to the empty box once it becomes the unfavoured nap spot, discovered online by @lanalou.bsky.social Poke some holes with a screwdriver, run some soft string between random holes, chuck some toys in there = super fun time

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

#artadventcalendar Day 24 Port Lympia Boats Last one! Some bright, complementary colours and crystal clear water from a hot day on Nice's old harbour to warm us up a bit. 📷 #photography #france #nice #boats

#artadventcalendar Day 23 Bike Blur Finally we have proof that bikes can operate in non-sunny weather. A nice developing network of safe cycling infrastructure in Nice. Still a mix of car-free, protected, painted, and... nothing, but pretty good 📷 #photography #bikes #blur

#artadventcalendar Day 22 Street Action in Nice My favourite shot of the year, I think. The blur, the lines into the corners, the texture of the rain - it all worked out 📷 #photography #streetphotography #france

#artadventcalendar Day 21 Street Silhouette A little bit of street mystery from Nice today. The old part of the city has that distinct intimacy missing from places that have developed around cars and feels 50/50 French/Italian due to its early history 📷 #photography #streetphotography #france

#artadventcalendar Day 20 Bike and Blue House A little #bikehfx action here in one of my fave shots of 2025. The complementary colours of the rust-coloured bike and deep turquoise shingles, the detail in the shingles and trim, plus the splash of reflected sun warming it up 📷 #photography #halisky

#artadventcalendar Day 19 Bird Wing A little bit of morbid beauty today. This, very oddly, was one of two gruesome bird scenes I came across in a single morning within just a few blocks of each other. I like it despite how unsettling it is. 📷 #photography #bird #halisky

#artadventcalendar Day 18 "My god, it's full of stars" A few hours up on the Northumberland shore in Pictou County. 📷 #photography #stars #night #eastcoastkin #startrails

#artadventcalendar Day 17 6 0 2 9 I love this one for some reason. Those stretched out numbers, angled shadows and lines, and the muted colour palette, I guess. It just works. 📷 #photography #halisky #shadows #light

#artadventcalendar Day 16 Fog rolling in over Dartmouth This was a wild morning - full sun, light fog, dense fog, back to sun. I love the two tugs cutting through the fog and I didn't notice the person in the doorway until later.

#artadventcalendar Day 15 Midge the Lion One of my favourite pet portraits. She sat on the arm of the couch right in a sunbeam and moved around a bit before striking this pose. 📷 #photography #cat #pet #portrait

#artadventcalendar Day 14 Doggetts Pond at White Point Just down from one of the glomes where we stayed for an early March weekend (watch for flash 50% sales!). The snow came in as huge fat flakes as we sat in the hot tub in our toques. Perfection 📷 #photography #novascotia #snow #landscape

#artadventcalendar Day 13 Centennial Blur Looking towards the Centennial Building from the top of MetroPark. Playing with blur on a boring grey day, interrupted by a nice splash of warm sun. This view will be gone soon with the new building under construction 📷 #photography #blur #halisky

#artadventcalendar Day 11 Mannequin in a Lower Water Street window Part of my project Outside|Inside looking at reflections and scenes in early morning storefront windows, shot mostly 2020-2022 during the weird COVID times. One of the creepier photos I've taken 📷 #photography #abstract #halisky
