Hoosac Transect images
by shaunoboyle

It’s the largest project I’ve taken on to date, covering a 200 mile long corridor from Albany New York, [...]

Weekend Shoot
by shaunoboyle

A new loosely defined project. Photograph the architecture, and whatever else is interesting, along a corridor defined by an old rail line.
