Livingston's Saratoga
Barbara
D. Livingston
A 2006 Independent Publisher Book Awards Semi-Finalist in Photography
A 2005 Foreword Magazine Book of the Year Finalist in Photography
Pub Date: September 2005. Award-winning
photographer Barbara Livingston captures the many sides
of a quintessential Victorian town, from its famous racetrack
to its historic homes and Revolutionary War memorials.
Livingston, who grew up near Saratoga Springs, New York,
honors its history, evoking the ghosts of the golden age
of Diamond Jim Brady and the Canfield Casino, revering
the lone buck browsing the historic Saratoga Battlefield
in deepening twilights, and celebrating the spirit of
racegoers running to grab a picnic table on Travers Stakes
Day.
Though best known for her portraits of racehorses and
racing people, Livingston shows the breadth of her artistry
in a kaleidoscope of images that reveals the spirit and
tradition of Saratoga Springs. Essays about her subjects
and the importance of Saratoga Springs in the shaping
of her vision enhance these timeless photographs.
