Kat Gurholt – The Best Photographer in Nova Scotia
Judging by the title you’d have to say I was stretching things a bit. I mean everyone thinks that they know the “best” photographer in Nova Scotia. And Sherman Hines would probably have a few things to say about my ravings.
Sherman Hines is about the best scenic photographer in the world. For years he has honed his craft so that almost every standard depiction of Peggy’s Cove and the Bluenose schooner is either Sherman’s or a knock-off of his shooting style.
In that regard Kat Gurholt does a great Sherman. Not only does she get the shot and the lighting in the Sherm style she adds a few of her own spins like “messin’ with the fog” and switching to black-and-white. Kat released a coffee table book earlier this year with some fabulous shots of Nova Scotia from Blomidon to Halifax harbour. And while Sherman may still hold the crown for scenic shots Kat can also shoot people.
Whether its the recent Blue Man Group concert or a local bar band Kat’s got it down. She doesn’t necessarily study the shot but takes a steady stream of pictures adjusting the lighting and composition as she goes. In fact you have probably seen her bopping around in front of the band. In fact the guys in Acoustic Soul consider her their “personal photographer” although she will hit as many as five clubs in a night.
My favorite subject of her recent photos was the Nova Scotia International Tattoo. Kat got close and personal with a few of the bands and it looks like she’s marching with them!
Lats Tuesday Kat presented local celebrity and Beatles performer, Hal Bruce, with a hardcover coffee table book of his three Martime Beatle Events. She had collected the shots and arranged them in a form that a publisher could bind into a beautiful book. So she is not only the best photographer she is a giver of the first kind. In fact, she has also given me permission to use her shots in my blog.

It’s 4:30 am, and I just got in from a concert in Shelbourne, but I had to read this blog on Kathy. You’ve really outdone yourself Kat…
Truer words have never been spoken, you are not only a very talented photographer, but a friend in the “first” degree.
I have shown everyone the book over the last few days, and have not let it out of my sight…I keep glancing through it and drifting off to The Beatle Events…wow!
And the get-together at your place was something I will never forget…I may not have be very vocal, but you totally caught me off-guard!!! I was speechless!!!
Sure am glad that you are in our little huddle of friends…Kat you rock!!!
And Kim…Keep on blogging, you’re a keeper!!!
I had the pleasure of meeting Kat thru Hal Bruce.She is indeed a wonderful person and it is reflected in her craft.I’ll get the book when we come home for a visit in January.Keep up the good work,Kat.
We are blessed, those who have the priviledge of having both Kat and Kim on their friendship tree. Thank you both for sharing your tremendous talents. Peace and Love, Donna
Hi Kim,
Joe and I thought that your blog about Kat as phoptographer was terrific and we agree whole heartedly!A wonderful person as well as a very talented gal.We have seen her books and they are very professionally done.
[...] had so many comment on on my last post about photographer Kat Gurholt so I thought I would just be quiet this time and let her pictures speak for themselves: Fishing [...]
Wow!
I had no idea that Kat had published books of her photography – but I’m not surprized, given her talent!
I like the photographer of Kat Gurholt. I love all of her works.

Rumrunner Suite at White Point Vacation Home is a Smuggler’s Delight!
White Point Vacation Home is gearing up for the 2011 holiday season with the inauguration of the Rumrunner Suite, a single bedroom apartment built on a smuggler’s theme. This is because the home was built by a real, live liquor smuggler who operated out of Hunt’s Point wharf during the Prohibition era in the United States.
