Images

[edit]

I'm hoping someone in the Roanoke area can get a good shot of the exterior of the O. Winston Link museum to be added to this article.

I currently have three books next to me filled with photographs OWL took. I'm pretty sure I can't add any to this article. However, in two of the books, there is an image of Link, an assistant, and much of the equipment (lights, cabling) they needed to accomplish successful night photography in the late 1950s. [1] I'm wondering if this can be used to illustrate the equipment used. If someone has any "fair use" advice, that would be helpful. D-Rock (Yell at D-Rock) 07:17, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New Trivia

[edit]

I'm wondering if this is trivial at all. Perhaps it should be included in a Later Life or some such section? Reference would be nice, too. The books I have mention this, but are not as detailed. D-Rock (Yell at D-Rock) 22:05, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Possible to do?

[edit]

Perhaps this could be incorporated? And should it?

Photo Descriptions

[edit]

The current version of the article says: One of Link's photographs from this time depicted a man aiming a gun at a pig wearing a bulletproof vest, and one eventually known as "What Is This Girl Selling?" or "Girl on Ice," which was widely published in the United States and later featured in Life as a "classic publicity picture." This should either be fleshed out or deleted. Why did he take a photo of a man aiming a gun at a pig? Who was wearing the bulletproof vest (man or pig)? Why is the image notable? Why don't we include the image in the article? Etc., etc. — DustinGC (talk | contribs) 18:48, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That First Name, Right Out of Dickens

[edit]

I'm more than a little astonished that such a good photographer should have that amazing first name. His parents' choice sounds, at first, perverse and a terrible handicap for a young man. But maybe "Ogle" is more than old-fashioned, maybe it's prescient. Walter Dufresne, Brooklyn, NY Walter Dufresne 19:20, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
