A Passion for Trains – The Railroad Photography of Richard Steinheimer
Author : Jeff Brouws ; Ed : W.W. Norton & Company – 2004 ; ISBN 0-393-05743-7 ; Language : English
This is THE book to have! You’ll discover some great black and white pictures from Richard Steinheimer. He worked in Western America (Milwaukee Road, Southern Pacific) with any kind of weather (even rain). This last point is really important as many railfans consider that only sun rules. And through Steinheimer’s eyes, results are stunning. A small english text introduces the reader to the history of the North-American Railroad Photography. It is easy to read and very well made. Non-english readers have to note that they can enjoy this book as most of it is about the pictures.
Steinheimer gives us various themes to work on : depots, night scenes, wilderness areas, rainy weather … everything you need if you’re feeling that your inspiration is going away!
