We couldn't be more excited to welcome our friend, photographer Henry Horenstein, for the launch of his new book "Miles and Miles of Texas" on Friday, October 3rd, from 6 to 9pm at the shop!
“Henry's world looks quite a bit like country songs sound: full of hard-working operators and lonely dreamers, half-full glasses and scorpion belt buckles, and a few tall hats, boots, bottles as well. It's a world of the honky tonk.” — Birthplace of Country Music Museum
“From stock car racing to country music stars, [Henry Horenstein] is one of the great documenters of Americana.” — The Guardian (UK)
“Historian with a camera” — UChicago Magazine
He studied history at the University of Chicago and earned his BFA and MFA at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where he studied with legends Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind.
Henry's work is collected and exhibited internationally and he has published over 40 books, including several monographs of his own work such as Honky Tonk, Histories, Show, Animalia, Humans, Racing Days, Close Relations, and many others. He has also authored Black & White Photography, Digital Photography, and Beyond Basic Photography, used by hundreds of thousands of college, university, high-school, and art school students as their introduction to photography. His Shoot What You Love serves both as a memoir and a personal history of photography over the past 50 years. His recent monographs, Speedway1972 was published by Stanley/Barker (UK) in 2022 and We Sort of People was published by Kehrer Verlag (Ger) in 2023. Miles and Miles of Texas will be published by Honky Tonk Editions fall 2025. Pre-orders available here.
In recent years, Henry has been making films: Preacher, Murray, Spoke, Partners, and Blitto Underground. He is currently in production on Marksville, LA, a film about Cajun Louisiana.
Henry is professor of photography at RISD and lives in Boston.
