At Home on the Grand Canal.

At Home On The Grand Canal is a ongoing photographic project that offers not only an insight into the lives of the people and their environment, but it is also an exploration and record of the boat culture on the Grand Canal, in County Kildare, Ireland. The project covers the whole length of Grand Canal portraying an array of images: from intimate portraits of families living on the boats, to poetic photographs of sunken wooden boats which have been eaten away by the unforgiving passage of time. All photographs were taken using an old Hasselblad 501 CM Camera and Kodak Portra 400 Professional Film.
