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.

Photograph of a milk bottle shatter while being hit with a hammer. In the image, the hammer is halfway through the neck of the bottle and cracks from the impact have already formed on the glass. Narrative by Junebug Clark: High speed, stop action, impact of a hammer striking a glass milk bottle, and shattering it. This print is an Impro. A Joe Clark technique of dropping mid-tones from an image to heighten the contrast. The photo was one of a series of photos made for Pur-Pak Corporation. The first to make and try to sell the concept of putting milk into Paper cartons. A hard sell, at first, because people were just used to having their milk home delivered in glass bottles.

The two men are practicing the height of the egg being tossed in the air for the photograph they are making where Milligan shoots the egg with a Milligan Special slingshot. Narrative by Junebug Clark: This is truly a behind the scenes or a how it was done photo. At 25 paces that egg is a pretty small moving target to hit. To add to the difficulty the object was also to miss the photographer, the assistant and also the camera which is directly behind the trajectory of the egg and in the path of the stainless steel ball bearing used for target shooting.
