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. As we move from a manufacturing age, through the information age into the creative age, factories like this (in Kitchener Waterloo especially) are becoming a rare thing. Had a blast photographing it and even more fun in post processing doing a lot of HDR work with the images.

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. Not to mention the incredible sponsors in our community that came together to make the event a reality. Update: Full gallery of Christine’s pictures available here (and soon on our flickr page)

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.

Thanks Air France… Update: turns out if you are ever looking for an airline that goes on strike a lot, check out Air France, apparently it’s pretty much an annual tradition!
