Tom Bochsler and Bob Chambers
Tom Bochsler’s career began in Hamilton photographing with a 4×5 Speed Graphic. Electronic flash was the next phase of change until the Hasselblad became the workhorse. Social and press photography evolved into commercial/industrial, his specialty for the years ahead. Industry photography in that era was “dirty, dark and dangerous.” It’s a photo-biography of his work experiences and opportunities. Visit Art of Industry for more…
Bob Chambers took a summer job as a darkroom person/assistant photographer at The Welland Tribune. He lasted 31 years as a newspaper photographer mostly at the Hamilton Spectator. In 1988 he started his own business in Burlington doing advertising and industrial photography. This final 18 year period saw Bob do photography in every province and seeing all three oceans while on projects for many clients.
