The Photographer, His Wife, Her Lover

Watch here

The dramatic story of one of the great art scandals of modern times.

This is the tale of the photographs of O. Winston Link and the feeding frenzy that these extraordinary images have left behind.

Link took elegant black-and-white nighttime photographs of the last of the great steam locomotives, as they chugged majestically across small-town America in the 1950s.

Link married Conchita Mendoza when he was 73 and she 48. From there the story could be told by Stephen King: Conchita successfully marketed the photographs for increasing profit while becoming sexually entangled with another man, Ed Hayes – all the time keeping Link captive and incommunicado in his basement darkroom … Or is the true story that Link himself was the great manipulator?
