Inside the photobooth – looking at the camera. If you look at the mirror positioned just above the camera, you will find a certain photographer. Smile for the birdie!

This is my booth at the Estevan Showcase. From left are my bike album, 42 inch plasma TV for slideshows, wedding album beneath it, photobooth entrance, canvas gallery wrap for sale, drilling rig album, photobooth prints, and sundry albums.

This 16×12 inch album with an aluminum cover weighs about 7 lbs. It has been attracting a huge amount of attention.

My booth is the grey box in the centre, a little under the Bruins ‘B’.

This is the first trade show held in the brand new Spectra Place.

This is the full Vortex Drilling gallery. As noted before, it was done on this new rig company’s first rig, on its first hole. Everything is nice, shiny and new. The weather co-operated beautifully. I was on site for about five or six hours to get the sunset and all the product shots. This shoot’s purpose was for the website and advertising for Vortex Drilling.

Interestingly enough, I am getting a Google seach every second day or so looking for Vortex drilling or similar photos. Today the search term was “roughnecks making a connection.”

Some of these turned out so well, I am considering putting one on the side of my truck, or more likely, my wife’s truck. I hope she doesn’t mind.

The whole gallery can be found here.

The signage was done by Imagination Ink in Regina, which can be found here.

Yesterday I was able to visit Vortex Rig 2, already under construction in Estevan. It will be going out to work this fall.

Last winter I was asked to take some promotional shots for a Lloydminster-based engineering firm that had established a Weyburn office. The idea was to get some head shots in a similar format to what had been done in their Lloydminster office, as well as some detail shots that could be used for their website. We also went outside on a very crisp day and got some external shots.

The cropping was done with different web formats in mind, including banners and square shots. It’s tough to come up with representative shots for this sort of thing, primarily office work, but I had a number of keepers, methinks.
