1977 | Fiesta Island, San Diego
The annual Over-the-Line is a “so very San Diego” event, a beach modified-softball tournament. Since this picture in 1977, I have been back a few times, but it seems tamer and less dense, or perhaps I have aged a bit, superannuating. What I do remember about this particular day is that it was hot, breezy, and dusty, and the only way I could clean my lens was with my shirttail – the lens survived, but all the pictures show some flare.
