This capped a long journey for Canon U.S.A., which for many years had been searching for a place on Long Island that would be a suitable location to establish a new home.

Located off the Long Island Expressway and near the technology corridor of Route 110, the headquarters features modern amenities and a 52-acre campus.

Measuring more than 500 feet long and nearly 300 feet wide, the building reflects Canon’s strong commitment to environmental sustainability. “One Canon Park” has been awarded LEED® Gold certification, a recognition for the design, construction, operations and maintenance of high-performance green buildings. The facility stands as a model for environmental stewardship and innovation, and is the largest commercial property on Long Island to achieve this level of LEED.

The grounds have an open, campus-like feel with plenty of green space, a walking trail and two retention ponds. Within the five-story building (plus lower level), employees enjoy a state-of-the-art learning center, cafeteria, fitness center and other amenities.

As always, Canon aims to be a good corporate citizen within the community and will continue fostering relationships in the surrounding area.

Jon Lorentz: Canon: Canon: Models & Natural Light, Photo Walk

It’s easy to get caught up in the plethora of lighting options available to a photographer this day and age, but one source remains true—the sun. Imagine if you will, you’re en route to an amazing location and your batteries die, your reflector tears, or, you forgot that ONE cord you needed for off-camera flash—things happen. So let’s take a step back and look at how to plan for the worst and achieve the best.

Bring your camera and join Canon’s Jon Lorentz and learn tips and tricks for shooting with the sun and working with your subject. Featuring stunning locations and models from the Bliss Model Agency, this is one event you won’t want to miss!
