Wonder how he bracketed?



I haven't read a whole lot of Mr. Link, but heard that he was very 
secretive about his technique. Too bad.  On the other hand can you imagine 
the time it would take for your name and face to be on the most wanted 
list after setting off a couple of cases of flash bulbs at an oncomming 
train at night?
