Schweitzer Klassifikation
Paul Stephanus' exposure to steam locomotives began even before his birth in 1941, when his pregnant mother and father would walk to the Montclair, NJ railroad station to see steam powered trains. Stephanus began photographing steam in the late 1950's with his brother while still in school. As an adult, he joined the US Army as a photographer and travelled across Europe from 1961-64, then in 1966 travelled west to Viet Nam to cover the war as a civilian photojournalist. Stephanus' pictures have been published by UPI, AP, LIFE, Look, Parade, New York Times, TIME, Newsweek, and newspapers and publications around the world. After leaving Viet Nam in 1969, Stephanus completed the first of his two westward round-the-world trips photographing steam locomotives (among other things), followed by a second trip in 1972-73. The photos from these trips form the basis of his latest book, Chasing Fire in Steel.
