Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Did you ever try to get through the intersection at NW 10, Classen and walker without losing a fender? According to figures compiled by the police accident investigation division, there have been 45 major accidents there in the last 18 months. Of this number, 21 were rear-end collisions of north-bound traffic at the southeast corner of NW 10 and Walker; 11 occurred near the center of the intersection and three occurred on the northeast corner. This picture was taken from the fire department's 100-foot aerial ladder truck and is printed at the request of the Oklahoma City Safety council in an effort to reduce accidents and injuries."

[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.9958]

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Things you accept as commonplace sometimes take on unsuspected beauty. Consider, for example, that thing the photographers call "camera angles." The probing photo lens finds highlights, shadows, lines of perspective and structural patterns the eye doesn't see in its preoccupation with everything within the range of vision. This picture of the Northwest Baptist church, NW 21 and Drexel, illustrates the point. Staff photographer Joe Miller's curious lens found other stricking angle shots around the city."
