I get sick on rides that go around on circles so my favorite attraction at amusement parks is the kids’ cars. They seat two and you have to be tiny to fit in. The steering wheel spins around but does no control the car in any way and the kids don’t even care.
We stopped down to Sea Breeze Amusement Park for number 27 of the Rochester Institute of Technology “Big Shots“, pictures made at night using either hand-held electronic flash units or flashlights. Volunteers were instructed to show up at eight and wear black. That was pretty easy because all our clothes are black. The organizers effortlessly divided thousands of people into small groups and assigned them trees or rides to illuminate. We had to keep moving so our bodies weren’t captured in the long exposure. I used the flash on camera to help light this purple T-Bird.

Annette had her ’57 painted purple just like this. Her daddy didn’t want to let her have a car right away. She knew the Beach Boys early on. “Fun Fun Fun” is absolutely about her; it has to be.
