The weathered wooden doors of the Standardbred Stable frame decades of racing history in this intimate architectural study. Captured in infrared, the warm honey tones of aged wood contrast with the limestone facade, creating a composition that speaks to craftsmanship, tradition, and the enduring relationship between human and horse.
The signage arches above the entrance like a benediction, marking this threshold as a place where memories are stabled alongside champions. The infrared spectrum reveals textures invisible to conventional photography, each grain in the wood, each variation in the stone becoming part of the narrative.
This image represents the artist's exploration of Kentucky's harness racing heritage at The Red Mile in Lexington, where Standardbreds have competed since 1875, making it the second-oldest harness track in the world.
