RMS Factory – Photo shoot
In March, 2011, I was given the unique opportunity to photograph the old RMS Factory. The factory was used for decades manufacturing rubber compounds and materials but the owners have now applied for a permit to tear the factory down.

Had a blast photographing it and even more fun in post processing doing a lot of HDR work with the images.

Well, after months and months of planning, TEDxWaterloo 2011 happened. It was hands down the biggest project I have ever taken on and I could not have done it without the amazing support of our whole team as well as my close friends and family who kept me sane.

Well, in just over 24 hours we will be admitting close to 1000 attendees into Centre in the Square for the second TEDxWaterloo.

Waterloo Region has the potential to become one of the greatest places in the world to work, play and live. But, we are not quite there yet.

Wow, if you have not gone to the Museum’s Studio 54 party, you are missing out. The whole place got transformed to a time that is (to be honest) before my days – but incredibly fun no less! Huge thanks to Leo at Brentwood Livery for the night, it was incredible!

Last week, my friend Adam Lanteigne and I held our first ever photography exhibition at The 41, in downtown Kitchener. It was a blast but also a lot more work than either of us realized, giving us a whole new level of respect for real artists that go through this regularly. We raised over $4000 for Grand River Hospital as well as Princess Margaret Hospital thanks to those who purchase art or bid on items in the silent auction. All the photography is available here.
