What does it take to be a master of the photographic medium? There is the technical understanding of equipment, light, etc. There is the art of composition? And, there must be the ability to connect with one's audience and, for lack of a better phrase, convey a story.
Link demonstrates all of this in Steam, Steel and Stars. I was literally awestruck by the photographs in this book. He captures the massive machinery of the steam locomotive train and the nature of the railway as it conveys freight and serves its customers and communities. But more than that, Link has given us unique documentation of life (particularly small town and rural life) at the midpoint of the 20th Century.
His is the Yang to Ansel Adams' Ying and they both should be equally valued as national treasures. I need to see more of this man's work!
