O. Winston Link
Ogle Winston Link〔Link was named after two of his maternal ancestors: the twentieth Speaker of the United States House of Representatives John Winston Jones and Pennsylvanian Representative Alexander Ogle. ''Last Steam Railroad'' p. 132.〕 (December 16, 1914 – January 30, 2001), known commonly as O. Winston Link, was an American photographer. He is best known for his black-and-white photography and sound recordings of the last days of steam locomotive railroading on the Norfolk & Western in the United States in the late 1950s. A commercial photographer, Link helped establish rail photography as a hobby. He also pioneered night photography, producing several well known examples including ''Hotshot Eastbound'', a photograph of a steam train passing a drive-in movie theater,〔This was duplicated in "Dumbbell Indemnity", an episode of ''The Simpsons'' ((Visual comparison between "Hotshot Eastbound" and ''The Simpsons'' scene ))〕 and ''Hawksbill Creek Swimming Hole'' showing a train crossing a bridge above children bathing.〔(O. Winston Link Museum website biography ), (1955-8 ). Accessed Oct 20, 2012〕
==Early life==
Link and his siblings, Eleanor and Albert Jr., spent their childhood in the borough of Brooklyn, New York City, where they lived with their parents, Albert Link, Sr., and Anne Winston Jones Link. Link's given names honor ancestors Alexander Ogle and John Winston Jones, who had served in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 19th century. Al Link taught woodworking in the New York City Public School system, and he encouraged his children's interest in arts and crafts and first introduced Winston to photography.
Link's early photography was created with a borrowed medium format Autographic Kodak camera. By the time he was in high school he had built his own photographic enlarger.〔''Last Steam Railroad'' pp. 132–3; ''Museum'' p. 3〕 After completing high school, Link attended the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, receiving a degree in civil engineering. Before his graduation in 1937, Link spoke at a banquet for the institute's newspaper, where he served as photo editor. An executive from Carl Byoir's public relations firm was present and was impressed by Link's speaking ability. He offered Link a job as a photographer.〔''Last Steam Railroad'' p. 136.〕
