Ian Lozada: Images and Words

As many of you know, I love horse racing and got my start in photography leaning over the rails at Belmont Park to produce the portfolio that got me my first photography job. I've been going to the Belmont Stakes for years, but I've never been to the Kentucky Derby before.

Until yesterday.

With a longtime racing buddy, Mike Babor, I had seats right on the rail at Churchill Downs for Derby Day. And while I never got around to a mint julep, I got plenty of images of the hats, the pageantry, and of course, the horses!
