Interesting to see that Link used wired-AND logic for his night shots:
"For instance, the movie theater image Hotshot Eastbound, used 42 #2 flashbulbs and one #0 fired simultaneously. Link, with an assistant such as George Thom, had to lug all his equipment into position and wire it up: this was done in series so any failure would prevent a picture being taken at all"

That said, I've always liked the starkness of monochrome photography, especially of steam locomotives hustling down the track. It somehow seems more fitting for one of those beasts to be photographed in black-and-white than in color.
