The Halifax Project
The Halifax Project is an attempt by photographer Kent Martin to document the life of this seaport at
this time in history. Photography has the unique magic of capturing a moment in time,
a moment that may resonate across time.
The project which will be built upon over the years includes the landscapes of the city, business and industry, social gatherings, its spiritual and artistic life and street photography. Hopefully with their cooperation, it will record the town’s people as they go about their lives and work. The project is inspired
by the legendary American photographer, photojournalist and humanist, W. Eugene Smith, who attempted to do something similar for the city of Pittsburgh in the 1950’s. His project was never totally completed and but resulted in thousands of photographs documenting a place and people in time.
​
There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.
