A bitter pill
doesn’t need
to be swallowed
to work. Just
reading your name
on the bottle
does the trick.
As though there
were some anti–
placebo effect.
As though the
self were eager
to be wrecked.

Rail Photographs by O. Winston Link.
O. Winston Link self funded this work on the Norfolk & Western railway when they announced the last steam trains on the lines were to be replaced by diesel. Link’s images were always meticulously set up and posed, and he chose to take most of his railroad photographs at night. He said “I can’t move the sun — and it’s always in the wrong place — and I can’t even move the tracks, so I had to create my own environment through lighting.”
