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.

Safety Is Not Just About Yourself | Mining Industrial Photographer James Hodgins
Safety is not just about yourself, but involves everyone and everything in your working environment. Always take a moment to stop, look around and listen to what is immediately around you and inspect your surroundings top to bottom. For one shoot I had to capture a few images from a tower overlooking the facility at night. As I got to the top of the tower and was looking around I quickly noticed some movement at my feet. Trying to be as stealthy as possible and not causing any more stress to the occupants of the balcony I quickly and silently descended back to the ground to locate another vantage point to shoot from. Happily momma bird arrived back on scene shortly after I reached the bottom. By then it was time to go for the night, but I did manage to capture some images throughout the night and above (on the opposite tower). No matter how big or small be safe for all.

In The Trenches Doing The Grunt Work| James Hodgins Mining Photographer
It’s Monday and I am back in the trenches of everyday life. I love Mondays. It’s the start of a brand new week. What happens in the first few hours of waking up on Monday can set the rest of the week in motion. Like the Haul Truck below it get’s dirty and sometimes monotonous but the job needs to get done in order to make progress.
