Re: Before Bikes There Were Trikes

[Paul Stenquist]

You've jogged my memory. It was "Big Wheel."  "Hot Wheels" were (and 
still are) those little metal cars from Mattel. I have thousands of old 
negs as well. From time to time I'll look through them and print or 
scan something. (It's much easier just to scan them, but I feel guilty 
not making a silver print of a nice image.) Many are of my children. 
Sometimes when I was shooting something for work, I'd finish off the 
roll on my kids and never printed any of them. Perhaps printing several 
hundred of those will be my retirement project.

I think I'm dating myself using tricycle terminology.  Yeah,
Hot Wheels and Big Wheels were popular at the time of this

Glad you liked the shot. Going through these old negs has
been something of a revelation to me ... bringing up
memories of friends and acquaintances, and putting my
current photographic work in an entirely different
perspective for me.

Hi Shel,
Love that shot. Good camera position. (Don't you just hate it when
people shoot kids from way up above?) Priceless poses. By the way that
vehicle was commonly known as a "Hot Wheel" in those days.
