Toronto<\/strong>. O Winston Link lived from late 1914 to early 2001<\/a>. A number of his photographs are offered by the Atlanta, GA gallery, Jackson Fine Art<\/a>.<\/p>\n

George Dunbar, also a photographer (and a retired industrial cinematographer) , saved Link’s obituary<\/a>. George writes, “It seems that I’ve had this obit in my files for 20 years…….completely forgotten.\u00a0Winston Link was the world famous photographer of trains in America.\u00a0The tragic later years of his life were depicted in a documentary<\/a> film, The Photographer, His Wife, Her Lover<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Train fanciers and night photo enthusiasts alike will enjoy the saga and photographs of an iconic American photographer<\/a> and his associates. Thanks to my good friend and fellow photo historian (amateur in my case), George Dunbar for saving Mr Link’s obituary these many years..<\/p>\n
