Forged In Fire
It was just too hot to get any closer with my camera or I take the risk of melting something including myself.

Above The Ground With The Mining Mechanic
When the equipment breaks they work diligently and fast to get it back up and running. Underground or above sun or rain the pressure is always there to be as quick and efficient as possible.

Here Comes The Boom
As she crawls her way along the rocky path illuminating the surroundings that briefly go by her presence is always one of wonder and awe.

Before The Boss Breaks Rocks
I love it when I get to photograph equipment immediately after assembly when the paint is fresh, the tires are clean and there isn’t a scratch to be found like this Rock Breaker Scale Boss I photographed before it was shipped to it’s client.

3rd Generation Miner
I photographed Vanessa (3rd generation miner) and her Scoop Tram 10 years ago next month. I have also been lucky enough to photograph her sister and dad who are both in the Mining Industry with Vale as well. This was before high visibility PPE was required at Vale at all times while on site in Ontario which changed from blue to high vis orange on July 1st 2016.

Climbing Into The Raise
In the past I have photographed the Alimak Raise Climber from the loading platform creating images before it rises into the raise but soon I will be getting more up close and personal with the Alimak when I visit Manroc Developements in Manitouwadge Ontario.

It was a race against mother nature to get this dragline excavator back up and running. The morning clouds were rolling in fast and our available light got darker and darker as the minutes passed.

Exploring The Epiroc Bits
I have been photographing Epiroc (Atlas Copco) Diamond Drill bits for years now and the circular part of my logo is actually a Hobic Drill bit that I captured during one of our first shoots. I have seen the production of these bits from all stages and luckily have photographed each of them. Like my photography, these bits are always making small changes to become more efficient and productive in their environment.
