Marc Karzen / Kentucky Derby 1984: A Gonzo Flashback
Marc Karzen photographed activities around the Kentucky Derby with a gritty, unvarnished, immersive point-of-view that included side streets around downtown Louisville, night clubs, street parties, Churchill Downs’ backside and Derby race day.
After an encounter and photographing Hunter S. Thompson, Marc Karzen and applied a “gonzo” point-of-view to a week long social photo essay at the Derby — which explored the cultural transformation that took place during the week in Louisville in the’80s.
