It Doesn’t Snow Underground|Mining Industrial Photographer James Hodgins
It’s true if you didn’t know it already. It doesn’t snow underground but the Grader still has a job to do by smoothing out the roads on a regular basis.

Here is a quick sneak peak at one of the images I created this Wednesday with the Joy Global 4LD at the Norcat Facility in Onaping. I enjoy photographing equipment when it comes straight off the productive line as it’s still fairly clean and shiny with just a hint of wear and tear from the drive in.
Earlier this year I was asked by Dovetail Communications if I could supply them with images to be featured throughout their next edition of the Camese Compendium Of Canadian Mining Suppliers 2017 which arrived in my mail yesterday. Camese is a trade association made up of Canadian companies & suppliers of the mining industrial industry. I wish to thank all involved at Dovetail and Camese for choosing Mining Industrial Photographer @miningphoto for the cover and inlaying images.

On my way back from a shoot last week I pulled over on the highway to take a quick photograph of this Winter Scene. It was a frosty morning with a good blanket of snow on the ground and I drive past this area all the time, but with the snow covering the ground the whole area took on a different look which made me want to capture it.
Another image from my shoot last week. We had to wait several hours for the fog to lift for safety reasons. You can see the Coniston stack hiding behind the fog in the background. The lighting hazily warm at this hour.
Last week I documented a massive move from Lopes LTD in Coniston to the Vale complex in Coppercliff for Navcor Transportation Services. Hydro lines had to be lifted, roads had to be blocked and a police escort was needed to navigate the city streets and highways.
As the seasons change here in Ontario so does the apparel I wear on the job site. Recently I started wearing my Green Custom High Visibility Vest manufactured by Ago Industries. I photographed their facility and processes a few years ago and as a thank you they made me this High Visibility Vest to wear on my shoots. I have had it tucked away as I tend to wear a 1 piece overall but now that the cold weather is hear and I am layering up, this vest is perfect to still keep me visible.

I was just browsing through the latest edition of Canadian Mining Journal and happily came across another instance where images I have created are being used in Industry Articles. It’s no surprise as Maclean Engineering are actively using the images for social media, marketing and obviously trade magazines. I just couldn’t picture this article having the same impact if it was taken with the Supervisors Cell phone.
Had a quick shoot yesterday here in Sudbury for Icon Mining Solutions featuring their new line of buckets. I call it “The Hulk” for obvious reason. No not green. BADASS! I am looking forward to photographing more of these bad boys throughout the industry.
In the past I have done a lot of food photography for different restaurants and ad agencies so it was a lot of fun to photograph some delicious subjects (food) a few weeks ago at “The Miner’s Son Restaurant and Lounge” located in North Bay Ontario. Owner Nicolas Gignac is indeed “The Miners Son” and is also the head chef bringing forth his unique culinary creations. If you or your company is traveling through North Bay Ontario make sure you stop in and say hi.
