Behemoth Still Standith
















There are very few manufacturer's still around these days let alone buildings which are older than 100 years. Here's a beauty. Shot on the weekend in full high dynamic range.

The Krug Furniture Company in Kitchener. Still in operation. Located directly across from the Kitchener Train Station. If you look in this photo from a visit of King George and Queen Elizabeth from 1939 you'll see the factory wall in the background.

Here's a very cool shot taken last year by Iain Myrans last year and posted on his blog.

Collapse of GM
















Ironically with last week's bankruptcy announcement I shot what I would have to say is my favorite all-time GM image.

A 1939 GMC Pick Up that I happened to come across while driving in town.

iStockphoto.com just dropped me a line to tell me that they have chosen this image and this one for their new upcoming "Premiere" gallery.

Latest Photo Walk


Just out and about on the weekend. Met up with a local photographer at a little carnival near my house.

Cool guy.

Even cooler portfolio and interests.

I'm starting to collect places run by Moms and Pops. Maybe venture into General Stores.

For most of the weekend I was MR HDR. Fun. Experimental. Learning Curve.
