[Leica] IMG: Wayback Photo - Leica Spot News Picture 1996

[Alan Magayne-Roshak]

Back in 1996 I had just dropped my wife Kathryn at the airport for her New
York trip, and was going home when at a red light I saw a vehicle
on it's side a block away down a side street, the underside lit by the
morning sun. I drove over and took about ten pictures from a discrete
distance.
(I didn't want to be an aggressive photographer)  Feeling it was
newsworthy, I went downtown to the newspaper office and explained what I had
shot.  They took my exposed film and told me they would develop it.  I knew
people there, since I had been a member of the Wisconsin News
Photographers Association since 1972.

The next day I opened the paper to find my photo on page three.  This is
the frame that they picked.  All three victims are visible.
