soft edges. So too can modeling. How can I approach an interesting scene? Does it need a low light level, perhaps from the side, and a foggy unclear back- drop, or would a direct overhead hot light bring out the feeling of a desert more clearly? How do I frame the key el- ement in a model scene? The book is beautifully printed in


Italy and the design is pleasing and spacious, presenting the photos as an uncluttered gallery exhibit between hard covers. Typically there is one large picture per page, and some go over two pages. Each photo has a cap- tion providing background and general location. Reproduction is excellent throughout. My only criticism is that I found the small light gray type of the captions difficult to read. When I held the book at a comfortable distance to view the large images, I couldn’t easily read the captions. I have a special section of my library reserved for books like this one of fine railroad photography from around the world, and I’m really pleased to add Steam An Enduring Legacy The Rail- road Photographs of Joel Jensen to this select group. It is a beautiful presenta- tion that captures so much of the at- mosphere and drama of the steam era on American railroads that has left such a profound impact on the world we know.–ROBERT D. TURNER
