Buy This Book Or We'll Smash Your Car

The folks who populate Crash Burn Love: Demolition Derby are not ordinary, but then Crash Burn Love is not an ordinary photo book.

Photographer friend Bill Lowenberg chronicles the world of the demolition derby (known in Europe as banger racing), a wildly popular staple of county fairs in which drivers compete by deliberately ramming their vehicles into one another. The last driver still driving is declared the victor.

Bill will be discussing Crash Burn Love on October 2 at 7 p.m. at the Banana Factory, a cultural arts and education center in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, while his book can be ordered through Amazon.
