I never heard the name O Winston Link untell a few years back while
watching
Trains Unlimited, and heard his story about the last days of steam.
I just loved it, and his work.
Have not seen very much of it, just from the show and MR and a book
or two,
But, in the ways he did it was just outstanding with nothing else
compairing.
Just to hear him speak of the days and times of his work just makes
it all the more interesting, does something to you that makes you
look deeper into his Photographs, looking at them as more than just a
picture.
This is very sad indeed, And I could only wish to maybe someday have
a few pieces of his work.
