Racing Days

Henry Horenstein is the author of over two dozen books, including Creatures, and Black and White Photography, a best-selling textbook. He teaches photography at Rhode Island School of Design. 

In an evocative blend of ninety striking photographs and seventy trenchant essays, Racing Days captures the gritty, elegant essence of a fascinating closed universe-- the Thoroughbred racetrack, with all its tension and release and its myriad characters, big and small. Horenstein portrays a rarefied, beautiful subculture.
