Photograghic Museulm with Large Prints with Amazing Lighting

Well worth the visit The O. Link Museum www.linkmuseum.org

"From 1955 to 1960, Brooklyn photographer Winston Link traveled to photograph and document the end of the steam locomotive era on the Norfolk and Western Railway."

Nice link (pun intended). I bookmarked it so I can go back and peruse it later.

Link's book "Life Along the Line" (published 2012) is an excellent intro to his work. Very dramatic imagery (think Weegee of trains), though I personally prefer David Plowden's "Requiem for Steam".
Anyway, hope to stop by the Roanoke Museum in the future.

Thanks guys, I bookmarked the museum website and I just hinted my wife that I wouldn't mind getting "Requiem for Steam" for Christmas.
