Inspecting the Ore Pass
Miners give the pass a triple look over to ensure that the area is safe to work in. Mine safety is of the utmost importance.

Sunrise At Totten Mine
As I was heading into Totten mine for an early morning shoot I quickly grabbed this image as I was walking to the headframe. Early morning fog was rising from the surrounding ponds as the sun backlit the facility.

Back To The Grind – Industrial Photography
Well I had a great time photographing Oil, Gas, Nickel & Coal facilities across Saskatchewan and Alberta last week. Along with hours of photography comes hours of organizing and processing the finished photos. I like to call this “The Grind”.

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
Whenever possible I try to use what light is available, but most of the time I have to add a few of my own. If I can I will grab light sources that are already present in the shop and use them to my advantage.

Fall Colors & Lockerby Mine
Flying out towards my cottage today I grabbed this quick shot of First Nickel Lockerby Mine. I actually have some fond memories of this site when I was a kid. My Grandfather was an on site security guard there and at one point lived on site with my Grandmother. They had this huge mobile home right on the mine site. I would go visit him regularly as our cottage was not far away. I remember staying overnight there and even riding my bike around the site. I was about 8 or 9 at the time. Fond memories for sure.
