Quick shot while scouting on the iPhone - will be back very soon. This room doubled as a gym as well.

Old Kodak Film Plant

________

I went scouting earlier today and decided to visit the plant on Photography Drive to see how the place is holding up. Looks like I will be going back tomorrow to photograph it.

In a Utility Room

_________

A couple of friends of mine in a utility room the other day.

GMP Industrial

__________

An image that I must have skipped when I was uploading the "Industrial Landscape" series online. I never thought the subject matter was anything spectacular but always enjoyed how many layers of information are contained within this photograph. I really debated putting this into colour as there is a lot of contrast but it wouldn't fit with the other images in the series. I guess you really can't have your cake and eat it too sometimes.

Cash & Carry

Cash & Carry, April 2010

_________

I was planning on putting a time lapse but I couldn't finish it before midnight. Here's an image from the "Industrial Landscapes" series I did last April. It was one of the photos that I overlooked when I originally posted the series.

OOCL Shipping Containers

OOCL Shipping Containers, April 2010.

_________

The industrial series was in black and white - the colour versions had to be posted. I don't know why, but there's something about shooting shipping containers that I enjoy. Best viewed in full.

Industrial Landscapes: Shipping Containers (7/7)

Shipping Containers, April 2010

__________

This is one hundred percent my favourite photo from the series. I've been trying to get into this shipping container yard for months now. I read rumours on The Internets that there were security dogs here. Not true at all. I have other images that I have kept in colour. I will post them once I get away from all these industrial landscapes for awhile.

Industrial Landscapes: Ventilation (6/7)

Ventilation, April 2010.

________

I'm not really 100% sure what this does but I think it's for ventilation of whatever is being created inside. Unfortunately I don't have much information on this place, but I do have a photo of me taking it.

Industrial Landscapes: Poster One (5/7)

Poster One, April 2010

_________

This is "Poster One" in the West End of Toronto. I really liked the way the water was drying on the silos behind the building. The rain really benefited this entire series.

Industrial Landscapes: Train ACFX 39208 (4/7)

Train ACFX 39208, April 2010.

__________

I can't remember where this is exactly but there was something interesting about these trains. This was the most random set of train tracks - I think it's exclusively used inside factory.

Industrial Landscapes: Canadian Phoenix Steel Products (3/7)

Canadian Phoenix Steel Products, April 2010.

__________

This place is full of all kind of weird steel objects - mostly pipes. I had to climb a stack of them in the rain to get up high enough to get this shot. This was one of the first places I ever took photos. My former high school is literally a five minute walk away from here.

Industrial Landscapes: Electric House (2/7)

Electric House, April 2010.

__________

This house (whether abandoned or commercially acquired) is in a state of extreme disrepair. It has been like this forever. It would be interesting to come back in a few years to rephotograph this.

Industrial Landscapes: Owens-Illinois Canada Corp. Factory (1/7)

 Owens-Illinois Canada Corp. Factory, April 2010

_________

The first in a week long series about industrial structures in Toronto. Most of the shots are from the West End but there are a few throughout the city. This is the BW version of the same building from two days ago that I got booted from. I took the photo from the sidewalk with security keeping a close eye on me.

Owens-Illinois Canada Corp. Factory

Owens-Illinois Canada Corp Factory, April 2010

__________

This factory (on Kipling Ave.) to my knowledge is no longer in operation. I got kicked out of here by security minutes after taking this photograph. I was hoping to get a permit to shoot inside. Then security guard told me there was one kid who fell through the floor and "busted his head open". I guess that won't be happening.
