[Frozen Milk Bottles]

Photograph of two frozen milk bottles in Detroit. They appear to be seated on someone's doorstep. One of the bottles has cracked, leaking milk onto the ground. This photograph is part of Joe Clark's "Detroit" series. Narrative by Junebug Clark: This photo of two frozen milk bottles on our front porch at 12135 Klinger Ave in Hamtramck, Mich. was a common scene in the Winter months. Our Twin Pines milk man would deliver early in the morning and by the time we could get to them.... All we could do was scrape the cream that had risen to the top and pushed the stopper out. This photo was used by Pure-Pak in an effort to promote the use of cardboard milk cartons. A hard sell because everyone believed that glass was best. Photo by: Joe Clark, HBSS.
