August 24, 2023

I grew up working at an amusement park called Fantasy Island in Long Beach Island, New Jersey. It was my first job and a crash course into customer service. I used to stick my foot in my mouth all the time - my boss (now close friend, I’ll leave her nameless) Mel used to say I had the cleanest shoes. Anyway these photos aren’t clean. Below is a collection of photos of rides at Fantasy Island Amusement Park, with a focus on experimenting with grain and movement.
