Shop People Of Cuba
A few months ago I had the opportunity to travel across Cuba photographing the Oil & Gas Industry with Sherritt International Coprporation. Sherritt is a world leader in the mining and refining of nickel from lateritic ores with projects and operations in Canada, Cuba, Indonesia and Madagascar. The Corporation is the largest thermal coal producer in Canada and is the largest independent energy producer in Cuba, with extensive oil and power operations on the island. You can see the below image on Sherritt’s Workplace Saftey Page.

Photographing Bigfoot
This photo of me was captured while I was photographing “Bigfoot”, a massive Dragline Excavator here in Alberta. Photographing this massive piece of machinery is another checkmark off my bucket list. Hopefully I can scratch off a few more in the next few days on this trip.

Making An Impact With Nordex Explosives
Yesterday I had great shoot (first of a few) at the Nordex Explosives facility in Kirkland Lake Ontario. This session revolved around the process of creating their unique Econotrim Buttbuster. Econotrim Buttbuster is a one piece custom length bright yellow semi-rigid coiled charge designed for rapid charging of perimeter boreholes in underground mines. Specifically designed for delivering smooth walls and a safer controlled blast in development headings and shaft sinking. Looking forward to creating more images for Nordex Explosives.

Industrial Shop Photos | Light is Light
