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”.

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.
