Overturned Truck

I was so happy to find this picture! It was taken for the local paper back in 1980 and I thought I didn't have a copy of it for my files. I was going through one of my file cabinets and found a copy of the old newspaper it came from and scanned it into my computer. The guy driving the truck was unfamiliar with intersection where the accident took place and turned his truck over. I don't think he was hurt.

I shot the pictures and took the roll to my town's local newspaper. They let me use their darkroom to develop the film, select what I felt was the best shot and then print it out for use in the paper. I used Kodak D-76 to develop it in.

Those were the old times. No digitals and no internet to send in to your local newspaper. Thank you for telling us.
