My father has enjoyed a successful career in the field of horse racing in Ireland for over 60 years. At 92 he is still working with the same formula : discipline, routine and perseverance. Living ‘away’ in Brussels for over 35 years, I have continued going ‘back home’ to Ireland, photographing my family and childhood landscapes. When my mother died in 2020, I made a point of visiting my father more often. Excerpt from an ongoing project.
