1971: Your photographer, a 15-year-old with a second-hand film camera, covers Pierre Trudeau's rally at a local high school. Intrigued by what develops in the lens, making 42 seconds of a leader's undivided attention last forever.
2026: Hoisting modern equipment above the crowd at another Pierre's rally in the same town. Your photographer, still intrigued by everything developing in his lens. A lifetime of vision, exposing honest proof of character to outlast a generation.
The Foundation
It began in a home darkroom in 1966 mixing black and white chemistry. By 1970, developing colour photos helped pay for a Yashica-Mat 124. The Yashica’s twin lenses focused momentarily on Pierre Elliott Trudeau during a 1971 visit to Pauline Johnson. This early film experience laid the foundation for Colour Technic, established as a Brantford photo lab in 1975.
Realizing photography’s future lay in physics replacing chemistry prompted a transition in the 1980's. The lab segued into an engineering career in electronics and imaging. Today, that technical breadth serves with purpose: harnessing the physics of sensor technology. No artificial generation. No shortcuts.
