I am still not Halifamous. by jgoldrup

I am still not Halifamous.

Urban dictionary: A person that is considered famous within Halifax, the Capital city of the province of Nova Scotia (aka Canada's Ocean Playground). Rick Mercer is Halifamous.

I won a prize in a photo contest. Why did I submit this one? Because the contest theme was diversity in Halifax. The 12 finalists will be shown at 4 different places around the city over the next 4 months. This is the first showing, at a cafe downtown. They did a horrible hanging job (I straightened mine). I've been told the 12 images will be made into a 2014 calendar. With the prize money, I've bought some little bits of camera gear: a blackrapid sling strap, a ballhead for my gorillapod, a replacement eyecup, a tiny padded home for my 50mm lens, and two memory cards. Yay free money!

This is an old 365 photo from July 2011:

@slang ~ Thanks! There's gotta be a faster way to get there...breaking laws and stuff, i suppose.

@northy ~ Thanks! It is likely an example of Haligonians being all egocentric and inventing new words.

@shutterbugger ~ Hahaha...please don't packrat anything expecting that I'll be Halifamous one day. As I said to Sean...I would likely have to stop being so law abiding or something.

@shutterbugger ~ Damn...was hoping you had your cat mask in there. Maybe some random utensils. Tiny toy soldiers. And such.
