If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the striking photos that fill the pages of Portraits are a veritable encyclopedia of motor sports history. In this fine photo book, veteran racing photographer Jesse Alexander brings us a most memorable collection of his favorite photos, each capturing a magical moment in time with history's greatest drivers and team owners, as well as the mechanics and fans that made it all possible. These beautiful photos, mostly black and white, cover four decades of Mr. Alexander's career, and are a fitting tribute to both his subjects, and his own remarkable skill.
