On the first day of Christmas, the toolpush gave to me… Red Dog Drilling Rig 1.

Last year I posted 12 Rigs of Christmas, and it was a big hit. So here’s the 2015 version.

This rig was shot in 2013.

There’s something interesting about this rig – it’s the only one that I’ve shot that is no longer in operation. Well, to a point. You see, Red Dog rebuilt their initial rig, using certain components, into Rig 5. I like to think of it as the mythical phoenix, the bird that is reborn out of its own ashes (although no ashes were involved to my knowledge.)  I haven’t had the opportunity to shoot it as Rig 5 yet, but maybe some day.

The Red Dog Rig 1 gallery can be found here – Red Dog Rig 1.

On the third day of Christmas, the toolpush gave to me…  Precision Drilling Rig 418.

PD 418 was so close to the U.S. border at the time, if the derrickman spit, he might hit a Yankee.

The Precision Drilling Rig 418 gallery can be found here PD Rig 418. I don’t have a lot of this rig, but there’s a black and white I like so much, it’s hung as a canvas in my kitchen for the last several years.

On the second day of Christmas, the toolpush gave to me… Betts Drilling Rig 3.

Last year I posted 12 Rigs of Christmas, and it was a big hit. So here’s the 2015 version.

Betts Drilling Rig 3 was working north of Redvers at the time. It was still pretty close to brand new.

On the first day of Christmas, the toolpush gave to me… Red Dog Drilling Rig 2.

Last year I posted 12 Rigs of Christmas, and it was a big hit. So here’s the 2015 version.

This rig was shot in 2013. I don’t often get a chance to photograph a rig move in progress, so this was a real treat. I was able to document the move almost in full, from loading in the laydown yard in Estevan to its drilling location north of Alameda. I had the GoPro mounted all over the place. If you’re a fan of Fast Trucking, you’ll see them in action here.

The Red Dog Rig 2 gallery can be found here Red Dog Rig 2.

If you’re looking for more rigs, check out the master drilling gallery here. You can find Red Dog Rig 1, Rig 3 and Rig 4 there as well.

For the next three days (Nov. 25-27) I am running a sale: 15% off all Red Dog Drilling prints. Includes Red Dog Rigs 1, 2, 3 and 4. Expires Nov. 27, 2015. (Discount does not include shipping). You can order canvases, metal prints (which are AWESOME) or even a coffee mug. The coupon code is: RedDog

Looking to spice up your Christmas party this year? Didn’t get around to booking anything? How about a photobooth?

I’m taking last-minute bookings! My photobooth has been updated to include greenscreen technology. Now users can choose their backdrop – from the beaches of California, palm trees overhead, the mountains of Banff, a nice warm Christmas scene, or even your own shop! Perfect to thinking about somewhere other than a prairie winter, or to make jokes about work. Plenty of props are provided.

Photos are printed out immediately, so everyone can take something home as a keepsake. Each print has your company logo put on it with some festive decoration. Finally, if you like, you can have a copy of the images to share on social media. Or, maybe you’ll just save that for next year’s slideshow…

There are plenty of open dates available between now and Christmas – even this weekend! So call me today at 306-461-5599 or email brian.zinchuk@sasktel.net.
