Books: American Thoroughbred {Neil Latham}
July 11, 2016Fine art photographer Neil Latham was compelled to capture
the essence of the Thoroughbred for a very personal reason:
after his mother passed away, his vision was to
remember her through their beauty.
That vision is realized in American Thoroughbred.

Truly this project is a testament to the power
of a son's devotion to preserve his mother's
memory, somewhere hidden in the form
of
the Thoroughbred.
Peace to you right where you are.
