Turning photography into a healthy pursuit

Promoting a healthy workplace is one of the goals of the Nova Scotia government and some of my colleagues at Nova Scotia Tourism, Culture & Heritage have turned a common interest in photography into a healthy pursuit.


A few weeks ago, the staff in the Corporate Strategy & Operations division packed their cameras for a lunchtime outing in downtown Halifax. I happened to stumble upon a display of pictures they had taken that day and was impressed with what I saw, so I asked if they would share their work on this blog.


Remember, as you look at the accompanying images, that these are not professional photographers, but business people who share an interest in fresh air and picture taking. Some of these images were taken with impressive looking cameras mounted on tripods, but most were shot with the point & shoot variety of digital cameras.


As a photographer friend of mine once told a photo class we were conducting: "It's not the camera, but the grey matter two inches behind the viewfinder that counts." Enjoy!
