Fred Lynch retired in 2018 after capturing images for the Southeast Missourian since 1975, in that time moving from black-and-white to color, from film to digital and to video. The blog title is a nod to an earlier era of news photography and the 4x5 Speed Graphic: It's more important to be there for the shot than to worry about technical details.

Pedestrian's view of collision

Dec. 10, 1956 Southeast Missourian

Pedestrian's eye view. A girl, at Broadway and Lorimier street, seconds after a collision on Saturday, looks over what happened. Automobiles in background indicate that the traffic on Broadway and other streets was pretty heavy. (G.D. Fronabarger photo)

There's always a peculiar spectator body language at fender-benders. This was a crash at Broadway and Fountain.

Of course, a big tire rolling down Broadway draws a pretty good crowd, too.

Any crash loud enough for jBlue to hear from his office warranted coverage.
