Richard Bram: “Big Hair & True Love”

For 12 years in the 1980s and ’90s, Richard Bram photographed the Kentucky Derby Festival, a two-week event leading up to the famous horse race. He was often assigned to cover the “chow wagon” events that were held at night and drew large crowds. Most people came to the festival to hang out, have a few drinks, and eat some unhealthy food.
