Lots of cars flipping over and wheels flying in the air. My first published picture, 17 September 1951 with a "Photo by Ted Grant" credit line, was shot at night using a #40 flash bulb as the left front wheel came off a car and was airborne into the night. And that was the beginning of a lifetime of published work. Dang that was along time ago and I sure wouldn't mind doing it all over again with what I know today. Oh yeah and with all the leica gear and lenses of today. ;-) ted
