Renowned author, photographer, and RISD professor, Boston-based Henry Horenstein will share a half-hour presentation about his experiences photographing Miles and Miles of Texas. Books available for purchase, with signing and reception to follow the presentation. This author feature is a special celebration, marking our first event in our new Bookstore space, following this summer’s move to the corner location of 5th Avenue and Commerce Street.
This bound collection features nearly 100 photographs that Henry has taken throughout Texas, mostly between 2021-2024, with some from years past. Texas has been a continual source of inspiration for Henry during his 50-year career, and these pictures reflect the people, places, and culture that make Texas so unique. Henry has made his name as a documentary photographer, and he has always held an interest in recording and documenting the lives of ordinary people. This quality imbues Miles and Miles of Texas with a grounded sense of humanity, and also ensures that there are plenty of interesting and often humorous details for readers to discover. More than anything, Henry appreciates a good story. Henry's work is collected and exhibited internationally. He has published over 40 books, including several monographs of his own work. He has also authored Beyond Basic Photography, used by hundreds of thousands of college, university, high-school, and art school students as their introduction to photography.
Our Bookstore features published work by the international artists and writers attending studio residencies at 100 West, alongside their recommended books and a collection of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and plays.
“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)
