Gorgeous.

Barbara Livingston, Saratoga: Images from the Heart (Eclipse Press, 2005) I have to say that Barbara Livingston's photographs do not occupy the space that usually works for me in photography; I can't compare Livingston to, say, Joel-Peter Witkin or Sally Mann. I'd probably have never heard of her were I not such a big horse racing fan; if you follow the ponies, it's hard not to come across Livingston sooner or later. When it comes to horse racing photography, there's no one in the business who does it better than Barbara Livingston. It turns out that Livingston's photographic talents do not just extend to our mutual four-legged friends; Saratoga is not just a book about the fabled racecourse that resides in Saratoga Springs, NY, but about the entire town (including Yaddo, the famed artists' retreat, which until reading this book I had no idea was so close to Saratoga Springs; two of my spiritual centers sitting right next to one another and I've still never been there?). It is a book of beautiful things, beautifully photographed, and sometimes that's enough. There's a little something here for everyone; gardens, architecture, history, and, yes, a whole lot of horses. It' well worth checking out. ****

Saratoga

Having been to this wonderful and picturesque place only once and not likely to return, this brought back all the sights and sounds of a memorable time in my life. Great book! Would recommend it to anyone, horse lover or not.
