Dawn of a new day high up in Sabrina Basin at the headwaters of Bishop Creek Middle Fork. Picture Peak always steals the show up here, but Hungry Packer Lake certainly doesn't disappoint. Other impressive peaks include Powell Point on the left, and Haeckel on the far right.
Hard to grasp the scale of this place, but there's a lime green tent on the lower left peninsula of the lake that gives some perspective.
This was a stop on the Lewis and Clark Expedition in June, 1806. There is a field of camas flowers that sits atop Lolo Pass that still blooms to this day. The field, about 50 acres in size, is filled with hundreds of thousands of vivid purple flowers.

This is a image from the Lambeau Field gift shop. Now even though I am a DIE-HARD REDSKIN FAN, I must give the Packers their fair applause for having some really nice merchandise. I am talking in terms of quality as compared to the crap that has seemed to be put out of similar Redskin merchandise since 'Danny" took over the team.
I even bought my kid one of the Cheese Heads, but you will never see that on my head, LOL!!!

I'm not as big of a NFL fan as I used to be, but I enjoy taking photos of small objects. I've had these mini helmets since the late 1970s or early 80s, probably purchased from a gumball-style machine for 25 cents. They are 1.5 inches high, or around 4cm.
The Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions meet today, and have been meeting two times per year since 1932, making it the longest uninterrupted rivalry in the league. The Packers lead the series 106-78-7. GO PACK!!!

On a gloomy new years day one of the two SW600's built for the Chicago & NorthWestern switches the paper mill in Rothschild WI. The Packers helmet fits well with the NorthWestern's paint scheme.
The Green Bay Packers never lost a football game. They just ran out of time.

"...at noon we arrived at the quamas flatts on the Creek of the same name and halted to graize our horses and dine having traveled 12 miles. We passed our encampment of the (13th) September at 10 m. where we halted there is a pretty little plain of about 50 acres plentifully stocked with quamash and from appearances this frames one of the principal stages or encampments of the indians who pass the mountains on this road..."
- Captain Lewis June 29, 1806
Thus reads the sign at Packer Meadows at Lolo Pass on the Idaho/Montana border. Every year, common camas [Cammasia quamash] fills the whole meadow with its blue-purple flowers, with the bloom so intense some years that it has the appearance of a lake (according to the Clearwater National Forest). This year, I took my boys to the meadow for Father's Day. None of us had seen it before, and it did not disappoint - we encountered the meadow at peak bloom.
When I'm feeling low and need a little light, Packer Lake is the place to be. At times it's easy to get lost amongst the ever changing shadows, but here the light remains steady and true.

I have been waiting for this sunset over Packer Meadows for 3 years, so glad I was finally there when in glowed so perfectly.
This serene little mountain lake is the perfect place to engage in a little spacious consciousness. Such a relief from my habit of making something out of everything. Just ask that goose.

Houghton, inside. This room was filled with huge chemical tanks, and it still smelled afterwords. It became the Monkey Vault.
I'm probably going to revisit this folder soon and upload more images, it's been a while!

I have been documenting the changing face of this neighborhood since 2005 to the present day. I never imagined that going to a photo meetup here would provide me with enough content and inspiration to continue to photograph the dynamic changes taking place as the neighborhood transformed from a dead retail strip on Dundas with derelict and shuttered industry to the hot hipster neighborhood it’s become. The Junction was not always known as such, it was rather West Toronto neighborhood, which for a large part was more often referred to the Stockyards. Meat processing is the only original industry that is still present today, to the dismay of residents. Industry was centralized here as the area had lower land prices and taxes and the creation of an official port of entry. Also Canadian Pacific developed a large rail yard which extends from Keele to Scarlet road. This led to massive industrial and commercial development which stayed for the most part until closures started with these companies in 2005.
Canada packers, CCM, Campbell Milling and Heinzman piano company were the most notable companies, which all have been converted respectfully to a large mall, another mall complex and a high rise condo. Other buildings such as the Symes waste transfer station and Sherwin Williams and Houghton plant were recently converted into a brewery, a failed condo development now waiting to be sold, and a studio complex with a gym and printing facilities. The first spot I photographed was the old Sherwin Williams plant in late 2005 on a cold Christmas weekend and it peaked my curiosity about industry in the city. Another notable location I visited multiple times was the old GE plant, which as of today (2018) is completely redeveloped. The old Bunge complex, which was located on St.Clair west of Keele was my personal favorite spot to visit while it was intact. I must have been 8 times and got to know the entire complex quite well. It was knocked over very quickly and the large stockyards mall took it’s place.
The story of my junction documentary project is quite extensive and the best way to discover more is to look at the captions on the images. I enjoyed exploring an area with so much industrial diversity so close to home and find myself wishing I still had something like this in my backyard.
Photos featured are from late 2005 to present, both film (in various formats, 35mm, 120,) and digital. Images are noted by their previous name, what they have been converted to, as well as approximate location.
Low cloud sunrise over Crown tower in Barangaroo, colloquially known as Packer's pecker after the billionaire that built it. At least it's not another boring rectangle tower. Shot on Gadigal country.
I took myself a photo of this WSN/SITA/Suez truck ejecting a load at Pioneer Waste Management in Taren Point, being the average 5t of bulk waste taken away from Kogarah. Worth noting is that this is a Heil Europe machine, obvious telltale being the control console - funny thing is that the lifter was operated by a valve lever instead of buttons like you’d expect! Had a lot of problems with the packer on this, lots of manual operation was required mainly during the second half of the cycle, kept seizing up in auto. Something I’ve gotta mention is how awesome this truck sounded at every point, even just the sharp kick of revs when dis/engaging the tailgate locks... especially epic doing the Pacific Square dock in Maroubra but. This truck did do Randwick for a short time when I transferred across, and it was mad fun to use, might’ve had some hardware issues and bent lifter teeth, but it worked quick and went tough. Absolutely devo I never managed to take a video and probably won’t in future.
The Cornwall brothers who established their ranch, "Ashcroft" in 1862, came originally from the village of Ashcroft in Gloucestershire, where their father had been vicar. When the CPR adopted the name Ashcroft for their station just east of the ranch (and what would become the townsite), the Cornwall's added "Manor" to the name of their home, making it Ashcroft Manor.
Ashcroft was founded in the 1860s, during the Cariboo Gold Rush, by two English brothers named Clement Francis Cornwall and Henry Pennant Cornwall, founders of Ashcroft Ranch, who emigrated to Canada from Ashcroft, at Newington Bagpath in Gloucestershire. The brothers had originally come in search of gold; however, on hearing stories from failed gold searchers they decided to found the town to give future gold searchers a place to saddle their horses. They sold flour to packers and miners, helping to make the community. Ashcroft was a major stop for trains, where mining supplies were dropped off.
- from 1908 "Lovell's Gazetteer of the Dominion of Canada" - ASHCROFT STATION, a post settlement and railroad depot on the C.P.R., in Yale co., B.C., about midway between Lytton and Kamloops, and 200 miles east of Vancouver. It is on the Thompson River, has a dry climate and light atmosphere, the surrounding district being excellent grazing land, on which much farming is done by irrigation and considerable stock raised. Ashcroft is the entrepot to the Cariboo district, via stage line to Barkerville, a distance of 287 miles. The village has a fine electric light plant and good water system; it has also 3 churches (Anglican, Presbyterian and Methodist), 10 stores, 3 hotels, 1 bank, 1 saw mill, 1 printing and newspaper office ("Ashcroft Journal"), besides express and telegraph offices. The population in 1908 was 500.
(from 1918 - Wrigley's British Columbia directory) - Ashcroft - on the main line, C. P. R. and C. N. R., 204 miles east of Vancouver, in the Provincial Electoral District of Yale. Dominion and Canadian Northern Express. Altitude, 1,004 ft. Centre of the irrigated belt and noted particularly for its famous potatoes and beans. Stock-raising and mining. The population in 1918 was 500.
Ashcroft Station was an early settlement. Before the railway was established, Ashcroft Manor was a stopping point on the Cariboo Road. The post office was originally in the local store but was moved to the station. It was established - 1 March 1886. The name was shortened to Ashcroft - 1 April 1899.

The life story of Robert Samuel Pyke - (written in 1914) - ROBERT SAMUEL PYKE - One of the most widely known and popular traveling salesmen of British Columbia is Robert Samuel Pyke, representing the Gutta-percha & Rubber, Ltd. He has visited every section of the province and there is no man who has a more intimate knowledge of conditions and of the development and progress of this western section of the Dominion. He was born in Addington county, Ontario, April 30, 1861, a son of James and Martha (Stevenson) Pyke, both natives of Belfast, Ireland. The father was actively and successfully engaged in the shoe business in Addington county for many years, and in fact was identified with the shoe trade throughout his entire life. Both he and his wife passed away many years ago in Ontario. In the public schools of his native county Robert Samuel Pyke pursued his education to the age of fifteen years, when he entered his father's store, there continuing for a few years. In 1881 he came to Winnipeg and joined a surveying party, going thence to Portage la Prairie. From that point they walked to the present site of the town of Brandon, and Mr. Pyke has the distinction of having staked the first tent ever pitched by a white man on that townsite. He also helped to make a survey of the town, at which place the party arrived on the 26th of May, 1881. After spending the summer in Manitoba he went to Colorado, where he remained for one season, working in the shoe business. In the spring of 1882 he returned to Ontario, going to Kingston, out of which city he traveled as a salesman for leather and findings. Mr. Pyke continued in that business until 1890, when he came to Vancouver and joined his brother, J. A. Pyke, in the ownership and conduct of a retail shoe business. That association was maintained for twelve years, at the end of which time R. S. Pyke withdrew and associated himself with the Vancouver Rubber Company, Ltd., which on the first of January, 1913, was reorganized under the name of the Gutta-percha & Rubber, Ltd. Since becoming connected with the Vancouver Rubber Company he has traveled throughout the province from the international boundary to the Alaskan line and from the Alberta border to the Pacific coast. He covers this entire province twice yearly, and few men have known this vast area better in its primitive state and throughout, its various stages of development and advancement than Mr. Pyke. He is popular with the many patrons whom he has won for the corporation which he represents and is everywhere regarded as an enterprising, alert and progressive business man a splendid representative of commercial interests. In Kingston, Ontario, on the 27th of January, 1886, Mr. Pyke was united in marriage to Miss Kate Perdaux, of Belleville, Ontario, and they have one son, J. Loren, now a law student in the office of Burns & Walkem. The parents are active and faithful members of the Wesley Methodist church, of which Mr. Pyke is one of the board of governors. He has always been a conservative, active in politics and municipal affairs. In Vancouver he was made chairman of Ward Conservative Association and has since filled the intermediate offices until he is now president of the Vancouver Conservative Association for 1913. He is now serving his fourth year as a member of the board of license commissioners, during the first two years as a government appointee and during the last two by election of the people. His public record is most commendable, indicating his devotion to the general welfare and his loyalty to all that works for the betterment of city and province. He is also widely known in fraternal circles. Since 1891 he has been a member of the Independent Order of Foresters and has ever taken an active part in the work of that society. He was first elected high chief ranger of the high court of British Columbia and was active in its formation. He represented this province at two supreme court conventions, one at Los Angeles, California, in 1898, and the other in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 1902. He is a typical representative of his age and district. He carries forward to successful completion whatever he undertakes and as the years go by his labors have been effective forces for success not only in business lines but in behalf of municipal advancement and general improvement.

Typical day back at URM Warringah with a truck coming back to the yard due to some kind of breakdown, although this time the problem was out of the ordinary. I was speaking to the driver and he was saying he was just going about emptying bins like normal, when suddenly the hopper overfilled. He could hear the paddle operating and noticed some movement in the hopper, but something clearly wasn’t right. Next thing he climbed up the top to discover more than half the paddle had gone missing :O This was one of those situations where the cause of the problem was a mystery, so how it happened wasn’t apparently known. Almost looks like something cut through the paddle on an angle, but the sides are also curved into the middle, so I dunno WTF happened. Knowing the paddle packer is a pretty heavy duty piece of equipment, it must’ve been something quite extreme to result in this!
