Poetry in Motion

Tolle s/w Nachtbilder von O. Winston Link, die alle die Dampflock gemeinsam haben. Erinnert mich irgendwie an die Atmosphäre in James Dean Filmen :-) Veröffentlicht wurden die Bilder übrigens in der Robert Mann Gallery, immer eine gute Adresse für schöne Fotos....



From Robert Mann Gallery:

O. Winston Link (1914-2001) was born in Brooklyn, New York. He is best known for his photographs documenting the last days of steam locomotive railroads in the United States during the 1950s. He was trained as a civil engineer in the late 1930s. When the Norfolk & Western Railway began to convert its operations from steam to diesel, Link spent five years documenting the trains and the towns along the line in Virginia. He made significant achievements in the use of night photography, often using elaborate flash equipment and staging techniques to create extraordinary images. His background in engineering proved especially useful in this regard, allowing him to solve the significant technical hurdles posed by the work.
