I’ve just started a kickstarter project titled Redlegs to help fund a trip to Charleston S.C. to continue my photography and writing work on the Plantations project. There are some good rewards for your support if the project is successful. Check it out here if you get a chance.

Hoosac Transect images
I’ve posted a selection of images from the year long – and still ongoing – Hoosac Transect project. It’s a project I have been working on since January 2010, photographing along the Hoosac Tunnel rail corridor. It’s the largest project I’ve taken on to date, covering a 200 mile long corridor from Albany New York, through the southern corner of Vermont, and on through the old manufacturing cities in northern Massachusetts to Boston. The images shown at this link are a small sample of the edit from the project. The content is more subtle than my other work, with deep roots, touching many areas that interest me.

The Walk from Work
I live 1 mile from my workplace. I walk most days, so the scenery along the way is familiar. I thought I would take some snapshots on the way home today to see if anything stuck. It looks more interesting in the photos than it does on the ground.

Tahawus Mine
These are some photographs from one of my favorite projects – the Tahawus Mine in the High Peaks regions of New York’s Adirondack mountains. The High Peaks are also one of my favorite places for hiking and camping, which I did for years before discovering the Tahawus mine ruins. The mine ruins were located on what was the town of Tahawus. The town was relocated south to Newcomb in order for the mine to expand operations. The entire photo essay can be found here http://www.oboylephoto.com/mine/index.htm The mine buildings were razed a few years ago, but the landscape still tells the story of the past.

New Home Sewing Machine Company
Main Office - New Home Sewing Machine Company
Orange MA has some interesting mid-late 19th century industrial architecture that is sitting vacant, or little used. The buildings were the former offices and manufacturing facilities of the New Home Sewing Machine Company. These building sit alongs the Miller River which was used to power the mills, and are also adjascent to the old Fitchburg Rail line that ran (and runs) from Boston to Troy New York through the Hoosac Tunnel.

Carrie Furnace, Rankin PA
I made a visit to Rankin in December, my previous visits were years before, in the early 2000\’s. A lot had changed at the site since then, it is under redevelopment now, a heritage site with a lot of commercial sites being developed adjacent to the old blast furnaces.

Bethlehem Steel, #2 Machine Shop

If you are not a subscriber to Lenswork, this is a good time, you get the best B&W publication, and the opportunity to see my work in print, so <a href=\”http://lenswork.com/index.html\”>click here to visit lenswork</a> if you are interested.
