He was the official photographer for McMaster University, CHCH-TV, CHML radio and other local businesses. He also was a portrait photographer.

This now stands as the largest Canadian collection of images from an individual photographer in Local History & Archives.
His book, The Art of Industry, is a 50-year photo-biography that includes events, personalities and the many industries which were part of his everyday photographic experience.
