Whether you’re a homesick Nova Scotian, a once or future visitor to our sweet province, or a current resident, we hope you enjoy our collection of Nova Scotia photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It started life as a wedding present on a floppy disk in 2000, and look at it now, with its own domain, a much bigger collection of photos of NS<\/a>, a blog about living in Nova Scotia<\/a>, and its own Nova Scotia Gift Shop with Nova Scotia t-shirts and gifts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We didn’t design the Nova Scotia Photo Album specifically to promote tourism, but we hope it will encourage you to visit the province and experience its hospitality first hand.  If you’re from Nova Scotia and live elsewhere, or if you have visited, you will appreciate our year-round point of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>About Us<\/h2>\n\n\n

\"Heather
Heather Holm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I’m Heather Holm. I was born and raised in Nova Scotia. After high school I lived, studied, worked and travelled in New Brunswick, West Africa, Montreal, Europe, Mexico and Central America before returning to Nova Scotia in 1989. You can guess that I think it’s a great place to live!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know the province well, having lived in several of its regions and visited most others for business, performance or vacations, and by car, bike, canoe and sail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been running my own web design business, HolmPage Productions<\/a> since way back in the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My husband, Steve Sepulchre, who takes some of the photos, was raised in Africa and Belgium and lived in Thunder Bay and Ottawa\/Hull before moving to Nova Scotia.\u00a0 He has a French blog on sailing at VoilePourTous.com<\/a> as well as an English blog on Civil Aviation, CivAv.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together we have lived in Blomidon and Kentville, and now live near Mahone Bay. Our son is also a contributor to the Nova Scotia Photo Album now. Some of our photos were taken by our friend Dennis Robinson, my late mother June Maginley, and by Heike Ortscheid, a German friend who loves to visit Nova Scotia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>About our Cameras<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nothing fancy. Some of the earlier photos were taken with a 1-megapixel Agfa digital camera. You may be able to spot some of those, but others might surprise you. Other photos were taken with my dear old Minolta SLR which has bit the dust. Others are from Kodak point-and-shoot cameras or a Kodak P880, a Fujifilm FinePix S1800<\/a>. Cellphones have taken over now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
