You know those photos you come across sometimes that just give you the chills? Ones that tell a story about a place, a life, a history, like words can’t describe? Ever wonder about the photographers behind some of those images? Ian Gibb is one of those people.

Halifax-based photographer  – and Digital Photography grad – Ian Gibb, went on a trip to Guatemala last fall, and returned with images that tell a story, much like what you’d expect to see in National Geographic. Throughout the month of March, Ian’s work was displayed in 20 large format prints, at the Public Archives in Halifax.
