Second, Schuler served as an unofficial photographer for Rochester's 2001 Horses on Parade public art project, connecting with the artists to document the horses' creation and to record many of them on display. The collection includes hundreds of both photographic prints and negatives documenting the creation and public display of the fiberglass horses.
