[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.9916]
Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Confusion center" of Oklahoma City's new one-way street network, which went into effect Tuesday, is the corner of Grand and Broadway, where southbound traffic finds itself stymied facing all northbound lanes south of Grand. The camera pointed north, shows the mixup. Since Grand is all east bound, the only out for the southbound motorist is a left turn through several lanes of oncoming traffic. With cars determined to travel the one lane south on Broadway Tuesday, confusion was at its peak most of the day. Pedestrians, not to be excluded, ducked steadily, avoiding cars turning left off Grand and Broadway. Safety engineers agree mor explicity signals should go up on the corners."

[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.5305]
Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Bumper stickers have come a long, long way since the Alf Landon sunflower, an invitation to "Eat Beef" and that start-of-school warning, "Watch That Child." Today you can get everything from a blush to a chuckle to a gummy bumber out of these attempmts at humor on the move. And, it isn't just the folks with a political message or a sick joke. who take to their bumpers with their message. Evangelism, even, is having a bumper crop. "If You Love Jesus, Honk," is one improbable message. "One Way," says another, with a finger pointing toward heaven.All this and the bumper-sticking season is just starting. Election year makes dividends of companies that make bumper stickers - and for emporiums after the election as the losers try to eradicate proof they rode the wrong horse. They cover up their embarrasment by sticking on those "Don't Blame Me" stickers."
