CLOSED: The Changing Face of American Industry is the working title for a series of photographs being collected for a book that sets out to document the continued trend of industrial decline in America. Recent economic situations throughout the United States have rapidly increased the number of American industries that face downsizing, outsourcing or closure. Freelance Photographers Larry Hoyt and Scott Livignale have embarked on a mission to document these changes to the American Industrial landscape by capturing it with still photographic images.
