Bumper sticker adds humor to wreck

Filed under General, Photojournalism, humor by bob hammerstrom at 3:08 pm

I see no humor in photographing car accidents, except for the bumper sticker I spotted today on the back of this old Ford pickup truck, which was crushed like an accordion when it struck the side of a dump truck on a city street in Hudson, New Hampshire this morning.

I’m not sure why Building 19 would advertise with bumper stickers like this. Is this a positive or negative ad for the store?

Of course, a more serious photo is running in The Telegraph. There is nothing funny about a person being injured in an accident. Nor, is there anything fun about covering them.

This picture would be just as interesting if it was taken in a junk yard. It’s not what happened to the occupants of the pickup that makes the photo, but the inclusion of the sticker and condition of the truck.
